Mob-Hit Squid

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the grill on high.
2. 2
   Pulse the beans in a food processor into a rough puree, then place in a bowl with the parsley and the olive oil.
3. 3
   Cut the tentacles off the squid bodies in one piece, keeping the legs intact and creating a large opening at the bottom of each squid body.
4. 4
   Grill, turning once, until the tentacles are just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
5. 5
   Transfer to a cutting board and give the tentacles a rough chop.
6. 6
   Add the grilled tentacles to the bowl with the bean puree.
7. 7
   Place the bacon in a saute pan over medium to medium-low heat and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the bacon slightly crisps and renders some of its fat.
8. 8
   Drain the bacon and add to the rest of the ingredients.
9. 9
   Mix gently but thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
10. 10
    Season with salt and pepper.
11. 11
    To stuff the squid, you can use a pastry bag fitted with a large tip, a resealable bag with a corner cut off, or a small spoon.
12. 12
    Fill the bodies loosely because the stuffing will expand during cooking.
13. 13
    After filling, close the top of each squid by threading a toothpick through twice.
14. 14
    Rub each body with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
15. 15
    Grill the squid until the bodies are opaque and the filling is heated through, 6 to 8 minutes.
