Dissolve the cuttlefish ink into the hot stock before it goes near the rice, so the color and the briny sea flavor soak evenly into every grain. Finish it with olive oil beaten in, not cheese, the way the coast does it.

Cook for4servings
Arborio rice
A high-starch short grain that builds the creamy body. Carnaroli works too.
Can you make Risotto al Nero di Seppia in an air fryer? — Sometimes
Sometimes — if the pieces are small and cooked dry, an air fryer can handle it in a single layer; anything saucy or liquid needs a pan. When in doubt, the stovetop or oven is the safe call.
Can you freeze Risotto al Nero di Seppia? — Yes
Yes — it freezes well. Cool it fully, portion into airtight containers, and it keeps a few months; thaw in the fridge and reheat gently.
Can you make Risotto al Nero di Seppia ahead of time? — Yes
Yes — it holds well and often tastes better the next day. Make it ahead and reheat gently before serving.
Is Risotto al Nero di Seppia gluten-free? — Yes
Yes — nothing in this recipe as written contains gluten. As always, glance at the labels on any packaged items (broth, sauces, chocolate), since brands vary.
Is Risotto al Nero di Seppia vegan? — No
No — it contains seafood, so it isn’t vegetarian or vegan.
