I've always liked the visual drama of squid ink risotto. There aren't enough black foods in the world - and this is one of the few. This is true black. Black as jet. Black as #000000.
There are two ways to get the squid ink you need for this. You can squeeze it from the ink sacks of fresh squid or octopus. Or you can buy it in jars from specialty grocers.
Once cleaned and cut into pieces, the octopus was marinated in olive oil, chilli and garlic before cooking. Just a light squeeze of lemon juice over the plated dish and that was that.
