Equipment

stovetop griller

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large squid
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Stuffings

  • ½ cup yellow onion diced
  • 1½ cup ripe tomato diced
  • salt and pepper to adjust the taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for basting

Instructions
 

  • To start, you'll need fresh, cleaned squid tubes. Twist and pull the head away from the body. The innards with the ink sac should come out with the head. Remove the transparent quill. Then separate the tentacles from the head. Therefore slice right underneath the eyes of the squid. Try the keep the tentacles in one piece. Carefully peel and pull the purple skin off to expose the white flesh.
  • Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and garlic powder. Add the prepared squid and marinate for 30 minutes up to overnight.
  • Chop the onion and slice the tomatoes into dice. You can add dice bell pepper if you have them. Combine them in a mixing bowl with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
  • Remove the squid from the marinade. Gently squeeze to get rid of excess liquid. Add the stuffing inside the squid. Add the tentacles and secure the ends of the squid tubes with a toothpick to prevent the stuffing from falling out during grilling.
  • Preheat your charcoal grill or stovetop griller. Grill the stuffed squid over medium to high heat for about 2-5 minutes per side or until the squid is cooked and has a nice char. Baste the squid with olive oil or annatto oil while grilling for added depth and flavor. Once the stuffed squid is cooked, remove from the grill and serve while hot. Enjoy!
