SEPPIE NERE ALLA VENEZIANA
This classic venecian dish requires you to use fresh cuttlefish.Calamari can
be a suitable substitute.The fish must not be purchased clean because you will
need the ink sacs to make the dish
2 1/4 pounds medium-sized cuttlefish
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion, finely minced
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 cup hot broth or bullion
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt to taste
Clean the cuttlefish, setting aside two ink sacks. Wash the cuttlefish well,
cut the bodies into thin rings, and chop the tentacles. Set a pot on the fire
and sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil, over a brisk flame. When the
onion is lightly browned remove and discard the garlic, then add the cuttlefish
to the pot, salt them lightly, and stir in the parsley Continue sautéing for
ten minutes, stirring all the while, then add the wine and bring the mixture to
a simmer. Remove the ink from the sacks to a bowl, and add it to the cuttlefish
according to your taste – in other words, if you want a very dark dish add all
the ink. Stir in the tomato paste as well, and continue simmering over a low
flame until the cuttlefish is fork tender (45-50 minutes), adding the hot broth
as need be to replace the liquid that evaporates.
