Rockfish Squid in Ink

Whole squid preserved in olive oil with their own ink — a bold, striking tin that delivers deep, oceanic flavour and the dramatic colour that makes squid ink one of the great ingredients of Mediterranean cooking.

The ink brings an intense, almost mineral quality to the olive oil, while tomato, paprika, onion and garlic round out the base into something rich and complex. The squid itself stays tender inside the sauce.

Toss through pasta, spoon over rice, or serve as a dramatic tapas dish. The ink stains — which is part of the point.
