-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----STUFFED CALAMARI-----
12 lg Squids
1/2 lb Ground pork
3 Green onions, finely sliced
1 Egg, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tb Vegetable oil
1 md Onion, chopped
1 md Tomato, chopped
1/2 Bay leaf
1 tb Soy sauce

Remove squid heads and ink sacs, clean the calamari outside and inside.
Sprinkle salt lightly on squids and set aside.
In a large bowl combine ground pork, green onions, beaten egg and a little
salt and pepper.
Stuff squid cavities with meat mixture. This is messy and slippery, don't
over stuff the calamari as the stuffing will swell when cooking. A pastry
bag makes this easier to do.
Place a pan in a steamer and steam the calamari covered for 10-15 minutes,
or until filling is cooked. Drain liquid and set aside.
Prepare sauce while steaming calamari. In a skillet over medium heat,
saute garlic in oil until lightly browned. Add onion and stir for 1 minute.
Add tomato, bay leaf and soy sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes until tomato
pieces are soft.
Pour sauce on top of stuffed calamari. Serve with rice.
Note: I save the tentacles from the calamari and as a side dish stir fry
them with some shrimp and vegetables. I used the broth from steaming the
calamari as a liquid in this dish. This is NOT a good dish to serve to
people who don't like calamari or are a bit squeamish.
Regular bananas can be used but they should be very firm and green.
