This method of cooking squid came to us from Italy - there, depending on the region, squid is stuffed with all sorts of fillings. In the south, for example, zucchini, capers and potatoes are most often put inside the carcass, and in the north - cereals like couscous and vegetables. Our recipe requires rice, but it can be replaced with bulgur or grated "rice" from cauliflower. In the latter case, it is important to understand that the cabbage will not swell like cereal, so you need to take two to three times more of it .
