Grilled Stuffed Squid (inihaw na pusit)

This grilled stuffed squid or inihaw na pusit recipe is simple and straightforward. The result was a tasty and tender grilled squid. The stuffing made the dish more appetizing. I think that the dipping sauce also made a huge difference in making the dish stand out.

If you plan to make this dish, be ready to cook extra servings of rice (unless you are in a weight loss diet). I found the temptation for having extra servings of rice  hard to resist. It was probably just me, you might have a better control of yourself than I do.

By the way, I had this with Filipino eggplant salad. The combination was perfect. What do you eat grilled squid with?

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 large squid cleaned
• ▢ 2 medium ripe tomato sliced into small cubes
• ▢ 2 medium yellow onion sliced into small cubes
• ▢ 2 thumbs ginger minced
• ▢ 2 tablespoons mirin
• ▢ 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• ▢ 4 tablespoons annatto oil
• ▢ 1 bunch scallions
• ▢ 1 lime or 2 pieces calamansi
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

• Arrange squid in a bowl. Add soy sauce, mirin, and lime. Marinate for 12 minutes.
• Combine onion, tomato, ginger, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl.
• Stuff the marinated squid with scallions and onion mixture. Secure the head of the squid using a toothpick to prevent it from falling off.
• Heat the grill and start to grill one side of the squid. Brush annatto oil on top of the squid. Continue to grill for 2 minutes.
• Turn the squid over to grill the opposite side. Brush annatto oil on top. Continue to grill for another 2 minutes. Note: Flip the squid every 2 to 3 minutes until it gets fully cooked. Do not overcook squid as the texture will be tough and rubberlike.

• Share and enjoy!
