- 3 pounds cuttlefish, cut in one and a half inch square pieces approximately (use the heads whole or cut in half).
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finelly diced
- 2 cups white or rose wine
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and clean the cuttlefish and let dry on a collander.
- On high heat, saute the onion with the olive oil for 1 minute or until translucent.Add the cuttlefish, bay leaf and stir. They will water out. Wait until all of the water is evaporated, and add one cup of wine.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer covered until tender (about 30-45 minutes). Check from time to time, and if the liquids tend to evaporate completely add a little hot water.
- Add the rest of the wine, parsley, freshly grated pepper and salt and simmer uncovered for 5-10 more minutes until the alcohol has evaporated and liquids are reduced by half.
- Turn off the heat and serve. Eat.
Notes
Cuttlefish, just like octopus, will lose a lot of liquids during cooking which means than after it's cooked through, it will seem a lot less than the start.
