Seppie Ripiene (Italy)
Stuffed cuttlefish, often replaced by smaller and more affordable squid, is a traditional Italian dish that has been embraced by many Italian regions, including Liguria, Campania, Apulia, and Sicily. Many regional recipes have been created that use different combinations of ingredients to create a variety of delicious fillings.
But they all use a variety of herbs, garlic, prosciutto, capers, pine nuts and Italian and Mediterranean classics like ricotta, parmesan or pecorino cheese. When stuffed, cuttlefish is usually pan-fried, grilled or baked and finished with the addition of white wine.
The first written recipe for this classic was found in De re coquinaria, an ancient collection of Roman recipes collected in the 4th and 5th centuries.
