Ingredients

  1. 250g cuttlefish, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
  2. 1 small shallot, finely diced
  3. 1 garlic clove, minced
  4. 1 small red chili pepper, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  5. 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  6. 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  7. ¼ cup white wine
  8. Juice of ½ lemon
  9. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  10. 1 spring onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  11. Salt & pepper, to taste
  12. Optional: crusty bread or steamed rice, to serve

Method

  1. Clean the cuttlefish and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced shallots and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the red chili pepper and cook for an additional minute. Add the diced tomatoes and capers, then simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to combine.
  4. Pour in the white wine and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes.
  5. Add the cuttlefish pieces to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cuttlefish is tender and cooked through.
  6. Garnish with sliced spring onion before serving. Serve hot with your choice of bread or rice.

Chef's Tip

Cuttlefish in red and white is all about balancing rich Mediterranean flavours with delicate seafood texture. The tomato, garlic, chilli, capers, and white wine create a vibrant savoury sauce with gentle acidity and depth, while the cuttlefish stays tender and naturally sweet when cooked carefully. Fresh lemon and spring onion brighten the dish beautifully, creating a light yet comforting seafood meal full of freshness and flavour.
