Before you start

Squid ink in sachets or small jars can be found in Italian grocery stores, or in the best fishmongers.

A pressure-cooker will reduce the risotto cooking time to 7 min.

Keep the serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet or saucepan. Sauté the shallot and garlic 2-3 min, until translucent. Add the cuttlefish and half of the parsley. Cook 2 min, with constant stirring. Add the rice and cook 1-2 min, with stirring, until the rice grains are well toasted and translucent.
  2. Deglaze with wine. Stir in the tomatoes and ink. Cook the risotto, using the warmed fish stock, until the rice is creamy but still al dente.
  3. Remove the risotto pan from the heat and let stand for 2 min. Add the grated parmesan and remaining parsley. Season pepper to taste then serve in the warmed dishes.
