Adobong Pusit
Pusit (Squid/Octopus) is a popular seafood in the Philippines. There are many variety in cooking squid. Some like it stuffed and grilled, others liked it breaded and fried ala Calamari, and some prefer stir fried with veggies. I, personally, like squid in any type of dish at any given time.
I will be sharing a recipe that is familiar to all Filipinos using squid as the main ingredient. I dare you try this dark and "dirty" take of the Filipino favorite, adobo. This Adbong Pusit (Squid Adobo) is indeed a must-try.
500 grams Squid
1/2 cup sliced onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp chopped ginger
1/4 cup red bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced tomatoes
salt and pepper
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
t tbsp cooking oil
1/2 cup water
Directions:
- In a hot pan, saute onions and garlic until the onion turns transparent. Add in the ginger, bell pepper, tomatoes and squid together. Mix.
- Once the squid is coated with the spices, pour in vinegar and soy sauce and wait for it to simmer. Once the vinegar content starts to evaporate, add water and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover pan, and let it cook for a good 5-7 mins or until the water starts to boil. Mix well. Simmer for another 2 mins and then serve hot.
- Serves 3-5.
