Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh squid
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 60 milliliters soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 120 milliliters water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 pieces green chili peppers, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia)
Instructions
Clean the squid: Remove the head, ink sack, and cartilage. Cut the body into rings and the tentacles into bite-size pieces. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water and drain.
In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic and sliced onion until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the cleaned squid to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes, just until the squid starts to release liquid.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and soy sauce. Stir to combine and let it boil for about 1 minute to evaporate the sharpness of the vinegar.
Add the black pepper, bay leaves, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. This will ensure the squid is tender and has absorbed the flavor.
After 20 minutes, uncover the pan. Add the green chili peppers and sugar substitute. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes without the lid to reduce the sauce to a slightly thick consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and discard the bay leaves. Allow the Adobong Pusit to cool slightly. Serve hot with keto-friendly side dishes.
