Recipe notes

  • The squid should be cleaned properly before cooking. Make sure to remove the innards and beak along with the film on its back.
  • Use large yellow onion. Diced onion is ok, but minced is best in my opinion.
  • Tomatoes are optional ingredient for this recipe. It makes this version of adobong pusit quite different. I have been using this ingredient as long as I can remember. You see, this is a heirloom recipe and our family has been doing it this way for generations.
