Plum-Stuffed Baby Squid

I love squid. I think it's one of the most versatile of proteins you can use for a meal-plus it usually has fun orifices that can be stuffed! I hope to convert you non-squid fans out there into believers with at least one squid dish. This one helped convert a non-squid fan at a dinner party once-the combination of plum and squid is odd, but actually works well.
