Recipe by Kay Chun Grilled squid is a revelation to people who have only encountered it fried—the sweet meat takes nicely to the smokiness of the coals, and a stuffing of homemade pork sausage gives it a whole new layer of interest. As the bundles cook,

Ingredients

3/4 cup fine fresh bread crumbs 1/3 cup whole milk 3/4 teaspoon fennel seeds 1/2 pound ground pork 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon paprika (preferably pimentón dulce) 12 cleaned small (3-to 4-inch) squid bodies plus tentacles (about 1 pound total) 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Instructions

Soak bread crumbs in milk in a large bowl. Toast fennel seeds in a dry small skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Chop fennel seeds and add to bread-crumb mixture along with pork, garlic, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gently mix with your hands until well blended. Using a small spoon, loosely stuff squid with fennel sausage, leaving a 1/2-inch space at top (you may have some stuffing left over). Seal tops using wooden picks. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Coat stuffed squid and tentacles with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Oil grill rack, then grill stuffed squid, turning frequently, until golden in spots and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of filling registers 150 to 155 °F, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Grill tentacles until opaque and curled, about 1 minute, then add to platter. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with parsley.
