Risotto al Nero di Seppia

🌍 Italian, Venice/Sardinia Difficulty: ●●●○○

A Venetian risotto stained ink-black by cuttlefish. The ink goes in with the wine, not at the end. Each grain of rice should be uniformly dark. Serve it with no garnish except a thread of olive oil — colour contrast distracts from the point.

Ingredients

• 350g arborio rice
• 400g cuttlefish, cleaned and sliced
• 2 squid ink sachets
• 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves
• 150ml white wine
• 1L fish stock
• 4 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Sautéing — Sauté onion and garlic; add cuttlefish.
2. Toasting — Toast rice; add wine.
3. Step 3 — Build with fish stock; add ink during cooking.
4. Step 4 — Finish without cheese (not traditional with fish).
