Ingredients
- 4 each (1/2 pound to 3/4 pound) whole calamari, large
- 2 tablespoons. minced shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped leeks, white part only
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1 roasted red pepper, diced small
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
ROASTED POBLANO SAUCE:
- 2 green Poblanos, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup mayonnaise (homemade or prepared)
- Juice of one lemon
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup snipped chives
- 1/2 red and yellow brunoise peppers
Directions
Preheat the grill. For sauce; combine the roasted Poblano peppers and garlic in a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Strain through a chinois and set aside. For stuffed calamari, preheat your grill. In a saute pan sweat off the shallots, garlic, and leeks. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and cool. Meanwhile combine the goats cheese, roasted red pepper, and bread crumbs together. Mix in the sauteed mixture and reseason. Stuff each calamari tube with the filling until nice and plump. Rub each stuffed tube with a little oil to prevent from sticking on the grill. Grill each tube for 1-2 minutes on each side, thus leaving grill marks on each side. To assemble, cut each tube into five nice pieces on the bias. Spoon a nice amount of the sauce on the bottom of the plate and arrange the calamari on top. Garnish with snipped chives and brunoise of red and yellow peppers with creole spice on the rim.

I was simply looking for something to do with my roasted poblano's. The sauce for this recipe is delicious. We will be trying it on grilled salmon tonight - but because I was happy with the sauce I will be trying the calimari portion of the recipe soon. I

I spent over 2 hours in the kitchen prepping and cooking (including the pepper roasting process and was disappointed. Maybe I am just not used to my squid being so thick and chewy but I didn't care for it. The flavors of the Calamari stuffing were great but the poblano sauce was just okay. Be careful, as the sauce has a kick and if you don't like spicy, I suggest skipping the sauce all together.
