Description
ABC+ squid in curry is an Atlantic preserve featuring tender cephalopods in a mild, aromatic spice blend. This preparation highlights the intersection of traditional Portuguese canning techniques and historical regional spice influences.
Craft & Origin
ABC+ sources Atlantic squid and processes it using the traditional Portuguese pre-cooking method. The squid is steam cooked to ensure the mantle remains tender but firm, removing excess moisture before it is hand-packed. The curry sauce is a traditional recipe—reflecting Portugal’s long-standing culinary ties to Goa—made with vegetable oil, onions, and a warm spice blend. This small-scale production avoids industrial shortcuts, focusing on manual cleaning and the preservation of regional culinary identity. The result is a shelf-stable preserve where the squid absorbs the savory notes of the sauce without losing its structural integrity.
Flavor & Texture
Tender and meaty texture with a clean marine finish. Mild savory heat with notes of toasted spice and sweet onion.
How to Use
Serve over steamed jasmine rice or enjoy with warm, crusty bread to soak up the aromatic sauce.
