Stuffed cuttlefish like in the Philippines (Stuffed Cuttlefish in a Filipino style)

Rezept
Seafood
Grilling and BBQ

The richness is at least as important here as the wildly fruity dipping sauce. Be sure to try it out!

Redaktion

Ingredients (4 servings)
4 large squid, gutted but intact

For the marinade

Ingredients (4 servings)
4 tablespoon(s) Kalamansi or lime juice
60 ml Coconut vinegar (or white vinegar)
4 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 piece(s) Ginger, finely chopped
2 tablespoon(s) Soy sauce (preferably Filipino Toyo)
1 teaspoon(s) Black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon(s) Brown sugar
2 tablespoon(s) Neutral oil
2 tablespoon(s) Chopped spring onions

For the filling

Ingredients (4 servings)
3 Tomatoes, finely diced
1 Red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoon(s) Fish sauce
2 tablespoon(s) Coriander, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon(s) Black pepper

For the dipping sauce

Ingredients (4 servings)
60 ml Kalamansi or lime juice
4 tablespoon(s) Soy sauce
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Small red onion, finely diced
2-3 Thai chilli peppers, finely chopped (to taste)
1 teaspoon(s) Brown sugar
2 tablespoon(s) Spring onions, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) Coriander stalks, finely chopped

To serve

Ingredients (4 servings)
2 Kalamansi or limes, halved
Fresh spring onions, finely sliced into rings
Roasted peanuts, crushed
Coriander, chopped
Bowl of finely chopped red chillies
  • Cut the squid diagonally with a sharp knife, but not all the way through, so that they can still be stuffed.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the marinade well. Add the squid and turn well. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (ideally 2-3 hours).
  • Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl. Season to taste with fish sauce and pepper. Carefully lift the squid out of the marinade and stuff with the filling, but do not overfill as the filling will expand during cooking. Close the opening with a toothpick.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl and stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to infuse in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the grill for direct grilling.
  • Carefully place the squid on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until the outside is well caramelised and the filling is warmed through. Squid cooks very quickly and becomes tough if cooked too long, so keep a close eye on it.
  • Arrange on a plate and sprinkle with plenty of chopped spring onions, roasted peanuts and coriander. Serve the dipping sauce in small bowls, together with the kalamansi or lime halves and the extra bowls of sliced chillies.

Falstaff wine recommendation

Manöverschluck Rosé
Winery Alois Gabriel Wind,
Rust

Light salmon pink with silvery reflections. Red cherries, a hint of currant and fine minerality, subtly underlaid with blossom honey. Juicy, red berry and fresh on the palate, with lively acidity and a good finish - a food wine full of character.
