Inihaw na Pusit with Scallion

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Inihaw na Pusit with Scallions are simply large squid that were stuffed with green onions (also known as dahon ng sibuyas in Tagalog), skewered, and grilled to perfection. This squid recipe is easy to prepare and takes less than 20 minutes to cook.

Inihaw na Pusit with Scallion

I decided to make the chopped onion and tomato a side dish, instead of stuffing it in the squid. The scallions are doing a good job in providing additional flavor to the squid, anyway. I had an ensalada-like side dish composed of tomato, onion, and bagoong alamang. It was an awesome combination that made grilled squid more enjoyable to eat. You can also stuff the tomato and onion in the squid to make this other inihaw na pusit version.

What dipping sauce do you usually make for this kind of dish? I did spicy toyomansi for this dish. It is a combination of soy sauce and calamansi. Sometimes (depending on my mood), I like to have it with spicy vinegar.

Let me quickly talk about the basting sauce, which I think is an important part of this recipe. The sauce makes the squid taste better because it provides flavor that complements the squid. Your grilled squid won’t taste as good if you opt not to use the sauce. The ingredients are simple and chances are that you already have these sitting in your pantry.

      Sure, keep an eye on it though to make sure that it is cooked perfectly. You may also want to set your exhaust fan to high mode 🙂
