- Fill each squid with 1 ounce of seasoned ground pork.

CRITICAL CONTROL POINT
- Squid needs to be stuffed with ground pork .25 oz at a time to ensure pork reaches tip of squid
- There should be about .5 inch left at the opening of the squid. This is to keep the pork from expanding out of the squid while cooking
- Left over rings of squid can be used for paella
- Stuffed squids may be frozen after being stuffed
