Serving
Serve stuffed calamari with boiled potatoes and cooked spinach leaves drizzled with olive oil.
Make sure not to overcook the calamari. They tend to toughen if you cook them for too long. You can prevent this if you peel and finely dice one kiwi fruit, mix the fruit with the raw calamari, and leave them like this for about 30 minutes. Rinse the calamari in running water and continue with the recipe.
