Recipe of Cuttlefish stew.

Vida Recetas Editorial

Cuttlefish stew is a traditional fisherman's stew that combines tender cuttlefish with potatoes, prawns, and mussels in a thick, flavorful sauce. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, this hearty dish is perfect for cold days or for impressing guests with authentic sea flavors.

Why this recipe works

Frozen cuttlefish cooks slowly, releasing its juices and becoming tender, while potatoes, cut in a rustic style, partially break down and naturally thicken the sauce. The mussel broth, enhanced with prawn shells, provides a rich and complex marine depth.

  • This stew tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for preparing ahead.

Directions

  1. 1

    First we wash and cut the cuttlefish.

  2. 2

    In a little oil, brown the prawns together with the garlic. Once done, peel them and set them aside.

  3. 3

    Put the mussel broth in a saucepan over low heat and add the “shells” of the prawns to it.

  4. 4

    At the same time, in a saucepan, the cuttlefish with another dressing of oil so that they can be cooked a little and release the broth.

  5. 5

    Wash and cut the potatoes in the “Roto style” so that during cooking they fall apart a little and the sauce thickens. We add the strained broth with the bay leaf, and there we let it cook for half an hour over medium heat.

  6. 6

    When we see that almost everything is soft, we will add the mussels and finally the prawns when we let it rest.

  7. 7

    This stew is better the next day because the sauce thickens when it rests. The potatoes will also have absorbed the remaining broth.
