The “Calamares en Su Tinta”, or Squid in its Own Ink is a very simple dish that is elegant in taste. It is Spanish in origin and it almost tastes likes our Adobo sa Kamatis. Growing up in the islands, with abundant supplies of seafood, this squid recipe is very familiar yet different at the same time.
I’m guessing its the olive oil and the wine which makes a lot of difference.
