I just absolutely love this type of food with the heat from the chilli and the soft chew from the squid. lovely, the only reason I don't do it often in my house is that no one else eats it, just me, but every now and then I do do it just for me. thx for sharing this lovely recipe. :D

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteJolene, the squid will only be "bubblegum" if it's too 'old' or over cooked. Try getting small squid. They will be more tender.
