Grilled SausageStuffed Calamari
Roland Bello

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, the fennel-scented sausage bastes the squid from within, keeping it from drying out.

Cook's Notes:

•If you can't get small squid, use larger ones and grill 15 to 18 minutes, then halve to serve.
•Squid can be cooked in a 2-burner grill pan.
•Squid can be stuffed 8 hours ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before grilling.
•Any leftover stuffing can be added to pasta sauce.
