Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Rinse the squid tubes under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut off the tentacles and set them aside for another use.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3
Stuff each squid tube with the feta cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the four tubes. Make sure to pack the filling tightly into the squid tubes.
4
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed squid tubes and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5
Serve the Mediterranean Stuffed Squid hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Pair with a side of warm pita bread and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a truly Mediterranean experience.
