This was interesting. Given the bite from the poblano peppers, I took out the serranos and did not add any Tabasco. Also added about 1 and 1/2 tsp. Herbs de Provence when cooking the squid to give it more flavor. If I was doing it again I might add fish broth instead of the water. Also left the top off while simmering in order to boil off some of the liquid.
