- Cut the cuttlefish into 5 mm (¼ in) strips, keeping the tentacles whole for garnish.
- Keep the fish stock at a steady simmer in the saucepan.
- Soften the onion and garlic in the sauté pan with a little olive oil for 5 minutes without browning.
- Add the rice and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then add the white wine and let it evaporate completely.
- Stir in the ink, then add the stock a ladle at a time, stirring.
- Halfway through (10 minutes), add the cuttlefish and cook 8 more minutes, adding stock as needed.
- Off the heat, beat in the cold butter and Parmesan vigorously (the mantecatura).
