Chorizo-Crab Stuffed Calamari - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lemon
    10 calamari, tubes
    1/4 lb loose chorizo sausage (or casings removed for links)
    1/3 cup crabmeat
    1 large egg
    1 tablespoon almond meal or 1 tablespoon flour
    1 pinch salt
    1 shallot, finely diced
    10 toothpicks
    avocodo oil or preferred oil
    1 1/2 cups canned organic crushed tomatoes
    1 teaspoon raw honey
    salt and pepper
    garnish
    parsley or cilantro
Preparation
    Juice one lemon in a small bowl. Place calamari tubes in the lemon juice.
    In a separate medium bowl, combine chorizo, crabmeat, egg, almond meal, pinch of salt and shallot until blended. Place mixture in a plastic storage bag and cut off a corner. Pipe mixture into the calamari tubes. Seal off the ends of the calamari using toothpicks.
    Heat a grilling pan (or grill) on medium-high heat. Brush the stuffed tubes with preferred oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
    Cook for approximately 7-8 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees.
    While this is cooking, place crushed tomatoes and raw honey in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt if desired. Stir and heat on medium until warm.
    Spoon tomato mixture on a plate. Remove toothpicks from calamari and arrange on the plate.
    Garnish with optional herbs.
    Enjoy!
