Εκτέλεση

Clean and wash the squid. Remove the tentacles and finely chop them. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onion, garlic, chopped tentacles and sauté for 2 minutes, until wilted and the tentacles change color. Add the rice and continue sautéing for 2 minutes until the rice turns glossy as well. Add the cinnamon, raisins, pine nuts, salt, pepper and 1 glass of water. Stir and let the rice absorb the liquids until it thickens. Remove from the heat and add the parsley, basil and lemon juice. Stuff the squid, close them with a toothpick and set aside.
For baking, first heat the olive oil in a deep pan. Add the leeks, celeriac, garlic cloves, spinach or Swiss chard, salt, pepper and sauté for 2 minutes until wilted. Spread the vegetable mixture in a baking pan. Arrange the stuffed squid on top. Put half a cup of olive oil, lemon juice and ouzo in a bowl and mix well. Drizzle the squid with the ouzo mixture, add half a glass of water and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, until the squid and the celeriac are tender.

Venizelika of Limnos
After the liberation of Lemnos from the Ottoman yoke in 1912 and, subsequently, with its incorporation into the Greek state, the island was visited by Eleftherios Venizelos. After disembarking at Romeikos Gialos in Myrina, where a crowd had gathered to welcome him, he sampled the treats that had been prepared for him. Among other things, he showed a particular preference for a small white fondant, filled with walnut and almond. And thus, the little fondants with white icing came to be called “venizelika” (Venizelos sweets).
