There are many ways to cook cuttlefish and squid, and all of them are delicious. Stewed cuttlefish with peas, for example, are a classic and truly tasty fish dish. But what if, instead of serving the peas in the sauce, we used them as a stuffing and then baked the cuttlefish? The result would be equally delicious oven-baked stuffed cuttlefish — an easy main course, perfect as the centerpiece of a lovely fish-based lunch.

Oven-Baked Stuffed Cuttlefish : an Easy, Quick, and Delicious Fish Main Course

First, we need 4 cleaned cuttlefish — you can prepare them yourself or ask your trusted fishmonger for help. We’ll stuff them with a filling made from peas and cherry tomatoes, cooked with sautéed carrot and onion. After sprinkling them with breadcrumbs and drizzling a little oil on top, we’ll bake the cuttlefish in the oven for about half an hour. The result is fantastic: a delicious, inviting dish that’s tasty but light!”

Want a trick to make the cuttlefish more tender and reduce the oven cooking time a bit? First, boil them in salted water for about 5 minutes.

“Late spring or summer is definitely the best time to prepare this fish main course, as the first fresh peas are tender and sweet. However, you can safely use frozen peas too — the dish will be just as delicious. This means you can enjoy stuffed cuttlefish with peas any time of the year.
