Black Rice with Cuttlefish and Black Garlic Alioli

The sea in its purest state: an intense and dramatic rice dyed with cuttlefish ink, where each grain absorbs the deep flavors of the ocean. Perfectly cooked cuttlefish provides a firm yet tender texture, and black garlic alioli—with its sweet and umami notes—crowns the dish with Mediterranean sophistication that surprises in every bite.

📋 Instructions

  1. 1

    Clean the cuttlefish and cut it into 2 cm strips. Reserve the ink in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of cold water.

  2. 2

    In a paella pan or wide pot, heat the oil over high heat and sauté the cuttlefish for 3 minutes until it takes color. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same oil, sauté the very finely chopped onion over medium heat for 10 minutes until well softened.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped garlic and green pepper, sauté 3 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the grated tomato and cook 8 minutes to get a well-concentrated sofrito.

  6. 6

    Add the rice and toast it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

  7. 7

    Dissolve the cuttlefish ink in hot broth and pour it all at once over the rice. Season with salt and pepper.

  8. 8

    Place the reserved cuttlefish on top and cook over high heat 5 minutes, then over medium heat 12 more minutes without stirring.

  9. 9

    For the black garlic alioli: blend the black garlic with the egg, lemon and a pinch of salt. Add the oil in a thin stream until completely emulsified.

  10. 10

    Let the rice rest 3 minutes off the heat and serve with black garlic alioli and lemon wedges.
