Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Stock

    In a saucepan, heat the fish stock over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced shallots and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the sautéed shallots and garlic. Stir well to coat the rice with the oil and cook for about 2 minutes until the edges of the rice become translucent.

  2. 4

    Add the Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer until it's almost completely absorbed by the rice, stirring frequently.

  3. 5

    Incorporate the Stock

    Begin adding the warm fish stock, one ladle at a time, to the rice. Stir continuously and allow each ladle to be absorbed before adding the next one. This process should take about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Cuttlefish Ink and Seafood

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the cuttlefish ink until the rice is evenly colored. Then, add the seafood mix and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Season and Serve

    Season the risotto with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and let it sit for a minute before serving. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
