How to make squid in sour cream sauce with garlic in a frying pan? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Sour cream is suitable for any fat content. I have 20%.

Step 2

Step 2
Clean the squid from the skin, internal films, remove the chitinous plate and entrails. Rinse thoroughly. If the squids are frozen, defrost them first, but not completely — frozen squids are easier to clean. For proper defrosting, read the separate article at the end of the recipe. Cut the squid carcasses into rings. Cut the tail fins into strips.

Step 3
Grate the cheese on a medium grater. Any cheese will do. The main thing is that it is tasty, without dyes and milk fat substitutes, and melts well. I have regular Russian cheese. How to replace different types of cheeses, read the article at the end of the recipe.
