Preparation

Step 1
Clean the squid. Chop the tentacles finely with the ham and tomatoes and add salt, pepper and chopped parsley to make a thick mixture. Stuff the squid with this, but not quite full and fasten each with a toothpick.
Step 2
Chop the onion and cook it gently in the oil with the whole cloves of garlic. Add the squid and cook them gently over a low heat for 20 minutes, adding a little water (or white wine) toward the end if the sauce seems to be drying up.
Step 3
Serve on a bed of rice.
