 squid.   Wash under cold running water and dry thoroughly. Remove the skin


 from the snapper (ensure no bones remain) and cut the meat into tiny


 pieces.  Crush the garlic.  Beat the egg whites lightly, add the snapper


 and garlic and season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg. Stir to blend


 thoroughly, then stuff the mixture into the squid. Chop the shallots,


 chiles, candlenuts, and lemon grass, then saute in very hot oil for three


 to four minutes. Add the coconut milk and bring to the boil, then lower


 heat and add the stuffed squid. Allow to simmer until the squid is very


 tender, approximately one hour, then transfer to a serving dish and pour


 the sauce on top.
