Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160C/gas 2.

2. To make the stuffing, soak the bread in a small bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry. Mix the bread with the eggs, garlic, parsley and capers, and season with salt and pepper.

3. Fill the squid with the stuffing, half full only, as it will expand when cooked. Seal the open end of the squid with toothpicks.

4. Arrange the tomatoes, olives, garlic, parsley and oregano in a flameproof terracotta casserole. Cover with the potato slices slightly overlapping, and sprinkle with the chilli.

5. Arrange the squid and tentacles on top and drizzle with olive oil. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender. Serve hot from the oven.
