Steps

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Clean the squid and reserve the tubes for garnish and wings and tentacles for braising.
  • Sauté wings and tentacles in olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan for 2 minutes before chopping into small dice.
  • Cook shallots, fennel, and garlic, then add chopped squid, spices, tomato purée, and white wine.
  • Reduce wine by half, add fish stock and bouquet garni, and braise in oven for 2 hours until tender.
  • Blanch chopped potatoes in vinegar water for 3 minutes.
  • Cook onion and garlic in oil, add potatoes, rice flour, and white wine, then cook until dry.
  • Gradually stir in chicken stock and cook for 8 minutes until the potato is tender.
  • Sauté mushrooms in butter in a separate frying pan.
  • Combine the cooked potato risotto with the braised squid, Parmesan, mushrooms, butter, dill, and chives.
  • Sauté the squid tubes in oil with parsley and garlic in a hot pan.
  • Serve the risotto in a bowl garnished with the sautéed squid tubes and sea purslane leaves.
