  • 500 g of cleaned cuttlefish/ without arms

  • 300 g of Italian rice/ Arborio, Carnaroli

  • 300 ml of fish stock

  • 2–3 cloves of garlic/ minced

  • a little olive oil

  • 100 ml of white wine

  • salt and pepper as desired

  • 2 sachet cuttlefish ink

  • fresh parsley/ finely chopped

  • lemon slices for serving

NOTE: The bag with cuttlefish ink is located in the gut of this mollusk and is easy to separate, so it is best to buy the whole cuttlefish at the fish market. You can buy cleaned and frozen cuttlefish in stores with a bag of ink included.
