Ingredients

Preparation

Start by cooking the Arnaboldi red rice with peas, leeks, and marjoram . Pour 700 ml of cold water into a nonstick saucepan and add the contents of the sachet. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 16-18 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

NB) If you use the right proportions you will get a real risotto.


Boil a potato in a saucepan. While it's cooking, add a drizzle of oil to a pan and brown the cuttlefish .



After two minutes, add the cherry tomatoes , leaving half whole and chopping the other half. Cook for five minutes and then deglaze with white or rosé wine. Let the alcohol evaporate and add the curry and a pinch of salt.



Set aside a couple of cherry tomatoes and cuttlefish for decoration and blend the rest with the potato, a little of its cooking water and a drizzle of oil, until you obtain an excellent creamy accompaniment.

At this point, all you have to do is assemble the dish . You can mix everything together and serve. Or, for a more elegant touch, arrange the cream on the plate and then add the rice, shaping it with a pastry cutter.



Add the cuttlefish on top and around the plate, a little marjoram, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and the dish is ready. Enjoy!

Chef's advice

Cooking potatoes in water takes some time. To speed up the process, use the microwave. Wrap the potato in microwave-safe plastic wrap and cook for 5 minutes, turning it halfway through.
