It’s not hard to understand why the adobong pusit or squid adobo is so popular! The dish is fairly easy to make, is loaded with umami from both the squid and the soy sauce, and is absolutely delicious.
For this recipe, however, the squid is cooked just like you would need to cook it in an adobong pusit but instead of the usual soy sauce and vinegar marinade, tomato sauce is used. Not only that, the squid and tomato sauce combined with the smoky flavors that are in chorizo de Bilbao creates a delicious sauce that you’ll want to pour over your steaming plate of rice.
Just remember that when cooking squid, it’s always a good idea to cook it either quickly or long so that you’re not eating squid that is tough and rubbery.
This pusit or squid stew is perfect with steamed rice or crusty bread!
