Santiago's Stuffed Squid
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Clean the squid by removing the tentacles, spine, and outer skin. Rinse well under cold water and set to drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Coarsely chop the shrimp. Flake the orange roughy fillets and mix them with the shrimp, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

  3. 3

    Blot the squid with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Using a small spoon, pack each squid with the fish/shrimp mixture, leaving 1 inch unfilled at the bottom. Secure the open end with a toothpick and place in a glass baking dish. Repeat until the filling is used up. Any extra squid can be sliced into rings and scattered over the stuffed squid.

  4. 4

    Place the tomato, onion, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, paprika, wine, and bread in a blender or food processor and puree. Pour the mixture over the stuffed squid.

  5. 5

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve warm, garnished with lemon wedges.
