How to fry squid and cheese stuffed in a pan in Greek? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Bulgarian peppers can be replaced with fresh or cured tomatoes. You can supplement the filling with other ingredients to your taste, for example, olives, olives.

Peel the squid from the skin, inner films, remove the chitin plate and insides. Rinse well. If the squid is frozen, defrost them first, but not to the end - it is easier to peel the frozen squid. I have squid whole, with tails. But you can also buy already prepared cleaned frozen tubes without tails. They will simply need to be thawed.

Peel the bell peppers from the seeds and stalks and cut into small cubes. To make the dish more beautiful, you can take peppers of different colors, for example, red and yellow.

Crush Ricotta with your hands. Ricotta can be replaced with any other cheese to taste: regular Russian, mozzarella, suluguni, feta, brynza, curd or melted.

Wash dill and parsley, dry and chop finely. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, green onions, cilantro or use a mixture of different herbs.

In a bowl, combine the ricotta, bell pepper, crushed greens, garlic cloves passed through the press, salt and ground black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.

Fill squid carcasses tightly with a prepared cheese and vegetable mixture and combine with toothpicks so that the filling does not leak out when roasting. If you have some filling left, you can make another squid. If there is no squid, you can make puffs with it or stuff tomatoes and bake in the oven.

In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Lay out the carcasses of the squid and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. It is not worth frying longer so that squid do not become rubber.

Transfer the finished squid to a plate and serve, garnishing with fresh greens. Enjoy your meal!
