Grilled Stuffed Squid

Grilled Stuffed Squid
Grilled Stuffed Squid, Inihaw na Pusit. I bought this fresh squid the size is just right for grilling, It comes to six pieces a kilo. Inihaw na pusit is popular as pulutan for those who are manginginom. There are several ways to grill the pusit, you can also grill it with out the stuffing. My only advice is not to grill it to long as it will become rubbery, grill it for 3-5 minutes each side and keep it away from the charcoal to about 6 inches. You could also grill it in ribbed grilling plate if you don’t like the messy and tricky process of grilling it in open flame charcoal. Inuman na…
