Black Adobong Pusit

Black Adobong Pusit
Black Adobong Pusit. Personally I want my Adobong Pusit as black as possible Ilocano Style Adobong Pusit, the squids are cooked longer until it is chewable to get rid of the fishy characteristic of the squid. Most adobo recipes now on the net requires cooking the squid half cooked to maintain its softness but because it is half cooked we have to get rid of the squid fishiness to do that we have sauté the squid with garlic, onion and tomato.

Black Adobong Pusit Recipe

For my Black Adobong Pusit I both sautéed the squids, and cooked longer as it takes until it gets chewable. Cooking longer will also properly cook the squid inks that I have bought separately from Filinvest South Supermarket. Buying a separate squid ink is necessary to achieve a jet-black color of the Black Adobong Pusit.

Some may not like the idea of a very Black Adobong Pusit this is not your Adobong Pusit, why not try some of my traditional or tweaked Adobong Pusit Below.

Black Adobong Pusit - Cooking Procedure

To clean pusit, pull out the head and the innards will come out with it. Keep aside ink sack, discard entrails. Remove the teeth and keep aside head and tentacles. Remove the membrane from the body and wash out entrails. Final wash squid and drain. Slice body into about 2” crosswise. Cut tentacles in proportion to sliced body. In a sauce pan sauté the putsit with garlic, onion and the lemongrass.  Add in the soy sauce, the vinegar, peppercorns, bay leaf, the collected ink sack and the squid ink.
