Squid stuffed with mushrooms, rice and cheese in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make squid stuffed with mushrooms, rice and cheese in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take medium-sized squids. Cheese - any hard or semi-hard. Round rice is fine. It contains more starchy substances. Thanks to them, the rice perfectly absorbs moisture and aromas, and also holds the filling together well. Take champignons that are white without stains, damage, or the smell of rot. They should not feel slippery to the touch.

2. STEP 2

   

   Use a saucepan to cook rice. Rinse the rice several times, add water at the rate that for one glass of rice you need to take 2 glasses of water. Cook first over high heat until it comes to a boil, then over low heat under the lid until all the water has evaporated. The rice should be cooked until done. Cool it completely.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel and rinse the onions and carrots. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Cut the onion into small cubes. In this form, the vegetables will fry faster and give the filling a beautiful shade. Heat a frying pan, carefully so as not to burn yourself, pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil onto it and add chopped vegetables.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fry the onions and carrots at the same time over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the champignons, rinse and finely chop. With this cutting, the filling will be more uniform. Add champignons to onions and carrots. Champignons can be replaced with mushrooms or boletus, but take into account the difference in the sequence and cooking time.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fry until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grate the cheese on a fine grater and put it in the refrigerator for now.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the squid from the top film. The easiest way to do this is to lower them into boiling water for a few seconds. The film will curl, rinse the squid thoroughly under cold water. Remove the squid's spine and entrails, if present.

9. STEP 9

   

   Carefully cut off the squid tails and chop finely.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place cooled rice and vegetables with mushrooms, cheese, chopped squid fins into a deep container, add salt and pepper to taste. Reserve a little cheese, if desired, for sprinkling on the hot squid (step 14).

11. STEP 11

    

    Stir the filling until smooth.

12. STEP 12

    

    Stuff the squid with the filling, being careful not to damage the walls. There is no need to stuff it too much; the squid will shrink a little more in volume during baking. Place in a heat-resistant dish, lightly greased with vegetable oil.

13. STEP 13

    

    Secure the holes with toothpicks. Cover the pan tightly with foil.

14. STEP 14

    

    Bake in an oven preheated to 150 degrees for 10-15 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Ready squids will turn white and slightly decrease in size. Remember, to prevent the squids from becoming rubbery, they should not be baked for a long time. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle grated cheese on top, cover again with foil and leave for another 10 minutes.

I cooked squid like this, it turns out very tasty, the main thing is not to overdo it with the filling when you stuff it, otherwise, out of the kindness of my heart, I stuffed it tightly, and after baking I collected some of the filling from the baking sheet, but it was still very tasty

It turned out very tasty, the recipe is super, except that I kept it in the oven for 25 minutes, not 15. The creamy sauce also went well with these squids. I recommend to everyone!
