Inihaw na Pusit


Inihaw na Pusit Posted by Hello


This is one of the dishes I prepared for my younger daughter's birthday. I had the squid prepared in a way that it only took a very short time on the grill the following day. The idea is to marinate the squid , then briefly braise it in its marinate and let the squid sit in the sauce (cooked marinate) overnight inside the fridge.


Ingredients:
large squids cleaned

Marinade:
1/4 c. calamansi juice
1/2 c. soy sauce
3 cloves chopped garlic
ground black pepper

Stuffing:
tomatoes diced
onion chopped
ginger chopped

Mix ingredients for the marinade. Let the squid marinate for at least an hour.
Lightly saute stuffing and season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
Par-boil the squid in its own marinade for 5 min. Remove and transfer to pan or bowl . Let the marinade simmer for 10 more minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile, place the stuffing inside the squid using a teaspoon . When all the squid have been stuffed pour in the marinade and place in the fridge overnight.
This way it won't take to much time to grill and the squid will be more tender than chewy.
