Riso al Nero di Seppia
Riso al nero di seppia is an exotic sounding and looking dish that is far simpler to prepare than expected. My first attempt at this recipe can be classified as a successful failure: the end result was apetizing, but preparation took a couple of wrong turns. First, I got no nero (black ink) from my seppia (squid), so the dramatic color contrast between white squid and black rice did not happen at all. Second, I ended up cutting up the squid thus bypassing the instruction to place an entire squid in each plate. That's because I only had one enormous squidone: next time I'll study the recipe before going shopping.
