  • Mix in the squid ink thoroughly.
  • Add the hot stock one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed and rice is al dente.
  • Clean the squid by removing the quill, beak, and skin, then slice the body into rings.
  • Stir the squid rings into the risotto, season, and remove from heat.
  • Preheat a griddle pan until hot.
  • Score the inside of the halved squid bodies and place onto the griddle with the tentacles.
