This is something special. You can also make it out of squid, but octopus or cuttlefish is much better. Although it is only a risotto, it is a heavy meal which requires red wine to support it. It is also better to use frozen octopus because it is softer than fresh.

Categories     Octopus

Time 1h10m

Yield 5 portions, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

500 g rice
1500 g octopus (better 4-5 small ones)
1 cup olive oil
100 g onions
2 garlic cloves
200 g passata (or Italian-style sieved tomatoes)
100 g parmesan cheese (grated)
30 g hard sheep's milk cheese (Grana Padano cheese)
1 bay leaf
2 cups white wine
salt
pepper
70 g fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Wash octopuses carefully and thoroughly, take out the bone, and ink-bags put aside. Cut octopus into stripes.
  • Finely mince garlic and parsley leaves.
  • Mince onion and sauté it on olive oil. When onion becomes soft, add octopus, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, tomato, salt pepper and sauté it 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes add 1 cup of wine and continue to sauté it. When octopus become soft, add what has left of wine.
  • Wash rice in two (cold) waters and add to octopus. Cook rice according to manual time necessary (add water but count in the liquid you have already in a pot).
  • Five minutes before ready add ink-bags. Put ink-bags one by one to decide how black you want your risotto. Cut hard sheep cheese into small cubes and add with ink-bags. This cheese will give the risotto rich and creamy taste.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes more and serve with grated parmesan cheese.

This risotto was a waste of time. The flavors were terrible and the squid and shrimp were not fresh.

This risotto was good, but not great. The flavors were a bit bland and the squid and shrimp were a bit overcooked.
