I am thinking a combination of my Crab Cake mix as a stuffing and my interpretation of Mick's Calamari ripiene e fornato Sauce. Stuff the Squid, assemble ala Mick with the Tomato based sauce and Smoke in the MES at 275°F for 2 hours or until tender...
You didn't say how much you wish to make or what size Squid you are using so I will give a general recipe for the stuffing and sauce. If the Crab mix is too much make some Crab Cakes with the remainder...JJ
