Kind of a curious one. Squid with cabbage, peach, herbs and peanuts (yeah, you read that right 🙄) from The Magic of Tinned Fish. I believe I picked up a tin of the La Brújula baby squid in olive oil by mistake when I was stocking up on mussels at the import shop. Or maybe I was just curious? I dunno but I had no idea what to do with them and I had nice peaches on hand so I gave it a go.
The baby squids are the four plump, corpse-like items There are two more lurking somewhere in there.. They are plump because they are stuffed with their own tentacles. Seems kind of a rude thing to do to a baby but it wasn't my idea, I only found out after I took a bite!
The header notes cite Thai flavors and other ingredients include fish sauce, sugar, a Fresno chile and a serrano, scallions, cilantro, mint and lime juice. I subbed cashews for the called-for peanuts.
The baby squid are quite good. I enjoyed the contrast of flavors and textures but I think I'd be happy with a half, appetizer sized serving rather than this big plate.
