3Black Risotto (Croatia)
Croatia’s Adriatic coastline is home to numerous seafood delicacies, but black risotto stands out for both its appearance and flavor. Prepared with cuttlefish or squid, Arborio rice, garlic, onions, white wine, and olive oil, the dish gets its striking black color from squid ink.
The result is a rich, slightly briny risotto that seafood lovers often consider one of the Adriatic’s hidden culinary treasures. It’s especially popular in Dubrovnik, Split, and the Dalmatian islands.
