Stir the mixture and leave it on the fire until the onion softens. Add the garlic and let the
entire mixture to stew for 5-6 minutes. Then add salt and pepper, chilli, parsley. Stir the
mixture well and let it cool. Put in squid (tubes) a little of the ready filling. (Do not
overfill) Close the openings with skewer or toothpick. Preheat grill pan (or grill). Grease
the bottom with olive oil. Place the stuffed squid to be roasted for 3 minutes on each side,
turning round them occasionally. Remove the squid and distribute them to serving dishes.
For the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a pan. Put the garlic to smother for 30 seconds. Add
