Squid and mushrooms: the perfect combination!
The delicate taste of oceanic predators perfectly complements the palette of mushroom flavors. You can use champignons, oyster mushrooms and others as filling. To make the filling aromatic, add spices to it as soon as you put the mushrooms in the frying pan and they begin to release their juice. It is at this moment that they, like a sponge, absorb the surrounding odors.

Video recipe for stuffed squid
In this video you will learn how to properly cook stuffed squid.
Preparation of squid stuffed with mushrooms:
Step 2: clean the squid
Squids are quite easily cleaned of the dark film under warm water. We try to remove the mucus with our fingers and carefully clean the insides, rinse well under running water.
Step 3: cook the squid
Boil the squid in slightly salted water for about 5 minutes, less if possible. Do not cook for a long time, as the carcasses may become tough. Place the carcasses in a colander and let the water drain. Leave to cool.
Step 4: prepare the filling
Let's prepare the ingredients for the filling: in my recipe I took frozen chopped champignons; if you use other mushrooms, then wash them first and chop them finely (2-3 cm into pieces). Remember that during heat treatment, mushrooms lose moisture and decrease in size. Peel and wash the onion, then chop it finely. Next, put frozen sliced champignons on a heated frying pan (if the champignons are fresh, then as soon as the mushrooms set in the oil, add water), since we will still need some water from them. Simmer in this way for 10-15 minutes. Next, in another frying pan, fry finely chopped onion in butter until golden brown. Salt the onions and champignons or add any other seasoning to your taste. When the onions and champignons are ready, put the mushrooms with a slotted spoon (there should be a lot of water left in the pan) into a separate bowl, where we mix the onions and mushrooms.
Step 5: prepare the oven
Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees. Lightly grease the heat-resistant form with butter or any other oil. If you are using a baking sheet, you can place foil on the bottom and also grease the foil with oil.
Step 6: Let the filling cool slightly
Grate all the cheese on a coarse grater. Add 1 part of cheese and a tablespoon of mayonnaise (or full-fat sour cream) to the slightly cooled filling and mix.
Step 7: stuff our squids with filling
Carefully fill the squid carcasses with a tablespoon or teaspoon, not too tightly, secure the edges with toothpicks to prevent the minced meat from falling out, and also so that the squid does not tear and retains its beautiful appearance. Place on a baking sheet, coat with mayonnaise (or rich sour cream) on top, and for beauty and taste, you can sprinkle with a little parsley or dill.
Step 8: Place in the oven
Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees for 15-20 minutes (time and temperature depend on the individuality of your oven). After this time, take out the mold, sprinkle the squid with the remaining cheese and put it back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 9: Prepare the Mushroom Sauce
While our squids are cooking, prepare the mushroom sauce - add flour to the water that we have left from the mushrooms and stir well so that there are no lumps and put it on the stove. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, begin stirring with a spoon until the sauce becomes thick.
Step 10: Serve squid stuffed with mushrooms
Before serving the stuffed squid, you need to remove the toothpicks. If you don’t overcook it in the oven, you get a very tender, juicy and aromatic dish! Serve the finished squids cold, place them whole on a plate, or simply cut them into pieces and pour the sauce over them. Bon appetit!
Tips for the recipe:
– If during the preparation of the filling all the water has boiled away, it’s okay, you can do without the mushroom sauce.
– – Squids stuffed with mushrooms are ideal for lovers of seafood and protein foods.
– – If you are on a diet, then mayonnaise can be replaced with full-fat sour cream
– — During heat treatment, squid carcasses decrease in size. Therefore, to prevent some of the filling from leaking out, they need to be cooked a little in advance.
– To prevent the squid from being tough, it should be baked with excess moisture.
Recipe “Baked squid stuffed with cheese and mushrooms”
The composition of the dish includes:
- squid - 5-6 pcs.;

- Place a saucepan of water over high heat and when it boils, plunge the squid into boiling water for 3 minutes. Then remove them and set them aside on a dry plate to cool.
- The process of preparing the filling will take you a little time, just as the meat has time to cool.
- Cut the peeled and washed onion into small slices.
- Add it to a frying pan heated with vegetable oil. Fry it until golden brown.
- Add finely chopped mushroom pieces to the fried onion and stir. Leave the mixture to fry for a few minutes.

Carefully lay out the boiled squid carcasses and fill them with the filling using a small teaspoon. Then secure the edges with a toothpick and pour in mayonnaise. To decorate and add spring “freshness,” sprinkle the stuffed squid with finely chopped herbs.

How to cook squid stuffed with mushrooms and rice - recipe with photos step by step
First you need to prepare all the products. Because Squids can be of various sizes, so the list of ingredients indicates both the weight and their quantity in pieces. As you can see in the photo, one large squid was used in this recipe, but you can use 2-3 small ones. For the filling, you can use any mushrooms (champignons or wild mushrooms), and they can be either fresh or frozen.
You can use sour cream, mayonnaise or kefir as a “binder” for the filling. The choice of this component will affect the calorie content of the dish. It is advisable to take refined, odorless vegetable oil for frying.
If you use frozen mushrooms and squid, you must first defrost these products. To do this, it is best to remove them from the freezer in advance and leave them in the refrigerator overnight.
Boil the rice, thoroughly washed in warm water, in salted water until fully cooked, then drain the water and rinse the rice lightly with boiled water.
After defrosting, the mushrooms should be finely chopped. Fresh mushrooms must first be peeled, washed thoroughly, and then cut. Finely chop the onion too. Grate the cheese onto a coarse grater.
Fry the onion in oil, then the mushrooms. Fry until the liquid released from the mushrooms evaporates. At the end of frying, add a little salt.
Place the prepared mushrooms, rice, and grated cheese into a suitable container. Season everything with kefir (sour cream or mayonnaise), pepper and, if necessary, salt. The filling is ready.
Thawed squids need to be cleaned (remove the skin and remove the plate inside) and wash thoroughly. Then fill the squid carcasses with the filling, but do not compact them too much, because... During cooking, the squid will shrink in size and the filling may leak out. To prevent this from happening, the edges of the squid need to be connected and pinned with toothpicks.
Place the stuffed squid in a mold or on a baking sheet. During baking, liquid will form, so it is better to cover the baking sheet with foil and also make small sides out of it. The top of the squid can be greased with sunflower oil. Bake them at a temperature of 200 degrees for 20 minutes, or at a temperature of 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
The recipe for stuffed squid with rice and mushrooms is ready. This dish can be served hot or cold, after cutting it into slices and garnishing with herbs.
If you want to make the taste of squid less pronounced, you can use a blender and grind the cooled squid (with or without filling). And although the appearance of the dish will not benefit from this, picky eaters will be satisfied - the taste of the squid after chopping becomes almost unnoticeable. The resulting homogeneous mass can simply be spread on sandwiches.
We wish everyone bon appetit!

Prepare stuffed squid in the oven or in a frying pan with one of the new, delicious fillings. And please your family with an original dish from the ocean “beast”, which you will again consider to be the most delicate delicacy!
The main principles of cooking squid
- The right choice of product is the key to a delicious dish, no matter how trivial it may sound. Carcasses are usually found frozen or canned. With the latter, everything is clear: we look at the expiration date and buy if everything is in order with it. It’s a little more difficult with frozen ones, since squids that have been frozen and thawed several times will definitely taste bitter. They can be identified by the carcasses stuck together. An oceanic delicacy, frozen only once, will be covered with an even glaze and will not stick to its “neighbors.”
- When preparing carcasses, the outer film should be removed. For stuffing, only the body is used, and the tentacles can be stuffed.
- In most recipes, the squid should be boiled before stuffing. The carcasses need to be lowered into boiling salted water one at a time: first one, after the water boils, the second, etc. The total cooking time should not exceed 5 minutes, otherwise your workpieces will become “rubbery”.
- Stuffed squids are prepared in a slow cooker, in the oven, or in a frying pan. There are many recipes! And we will introduce you to some of them.
Cooking method
- Rinse the squid well, remove the entrails and plates, remove the skin under running hot water. Place in a bowl.
- Squeeze lemon juice and orange juice over the squid. Sprinkle with oregano. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to maximum temperature. Place the squid on a wire rack and wait for the excess marinade to drain. You can also use a double grate with a handle (like for a barbecue).
- Place the squid in the oven or grill for 5-6 minutes (place a baking sheet under the rack so that it drips only there and does not dirty the oven). If you cook on a grill rack, turn it often. If you bake in a regular oven, after 2-3 minutes, turn it over to the second side.
- When serving, cut the squid, drizzle with olive oil and lemon. Serve with fresh tomato rings, vegetable salad or grilled vegetables.

Baked squid stuffed with mushrooms and rice in the oven: lean recipe
Prepare the filling. Wash the squid carcasses and remove the film, after dousing them with boiling water (hot water). Rinse the rice until the water is clear and boil it until it remains slightly undercooked. The ratio of grains to water is 1 to 2.5. Peel and grate the carrots. Simmer the champignons in oil and water (50 g) in a frying pan for 5 minutes; for other mushrooms, increase the time depending on the variety. Don’t worry if you get too much minced meat, you will use it to prepare a wonderful lean dish - rice with mushrooms. How to stuff squid for baking in the oven
For the first option. Mix rice with canned corn and carrots, squeeze out a clove of garlic, add 2-3 tablespoons of white wine (or lemon juice) to the filling and stir. Fill the belly of the squid with the resulting filling. Secure the inlet hole with toothpicks. Sprinkle and coat the squid carcasses with mayonnaise sauce, stir the mayonnaise with black pepper and lemon juice (1 tablespoon).
A tasty addition: we recommend making honey sauce at home for coating. Grind a spoonful of honey with 3 tablespoons of olive or other vegetable oil, 1 spoon of lemon juice, a pinch of pepper mixture and squeezed garlic. Beat everything and grease the carefully filled and sewn squids.

A few tips to make your stuffed squid look festive and original. Sew up the belly with the filling with white thread, so that you get a figurine of the animal you invented. For example, you can shape and decorate stuffed squids, as in the photo. For the eyes, peppercorns or cloves are suitable (the latter is more securely attached and its aroma goes well with seafood. If the nose is not sharp and a carrot circle is placed on a toothpick, and the tail is made from a piece of squid meat, you will get a pig. Home kitchen is a great place for creativity, fantasize.
