3 Grilled Stuffed Squid Recipe
There are few things less Pinoy than stuffing squid but if you’re not a fan of the usual stuffing you find in stuffed squid, try this version.

This salsa is made with white onions, bell peppers, green onions, ginger, and soy sauce.
To give it a sweetness, add a little sugar and stuff it into large squid or even cuttlefish for a stuffed pusit recipe that is different yet familiar.
