2160. BACON-STUFFED SQUID with TOMATO VERMOUTH SAUCE

cleaned squid (about 6 to 8)
1/2 lb. bacon, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
4 slices bread, processed for fresh bread crumbs
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 ounces dry vermouth
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped for garnish

Brown bacon over medium heat. Drain all but 2 teaspoons bacon fat; reserve bacon. In the bacon fat, cook onions over medium heat until softened. In a separate frying pan, pan toast until lightly browned, stirring often. Place the cooked bacon, onions and pan toasted fresh crumbs in a bowl, and toss together. Use this to stuff the cleaned squid. Stir the tomato sauce and vermouth together. Add in the stuffed squid, and cover. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
