Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Rice

    Stir in the Bomba rice and cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly. Add the cuttlefish ink, fish stock, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  4. 4

    Grill the Branzino and Langoustine

    While the rice is cooking, grill the branzino fillets and langoustine until cooked through and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve the rice on a plate, topped with grilled branzino, langoustine, and slices of cooked octopus.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil, then serve hot.
