Baby Cuttlefish with White Wine and Cherry Tomatoes

Cuttlefish, also known as sepia is a relative of the squid and octopus. Not only is it great tasting, it’s easy to cook and healthy! With this variation, you will quickly be brought back to fond memories of your last holiday in the south.

My favorite Schwabe was actually the one to introduce me to baby cuttlefish. The range of my familiarity was squid in the form of deep fried calamari and octopus from travels abroad. Mmmm Greek grilled octopus. Yum. Love it! Back then, the thought of making either at home was a completely new concept to me. It’s far less intimidating than I ever imagined, I quickly discovered how super easy to cook these tasty morsels. Simple is best. You want to be able to enjoy their flavor. So just grill them and serve them over a salad, or savor them on their own by cooking them together with a generous amount of wine, fragrant garlic and onions, aromatic tomatoes and fresh chopped parsley.

I always pick up my baby cuttlefish in the frozen food section of my local supermarket. Already cleaned, they don’t require any prep other than letting it thaw and then rinsing them before we get started with cooking.

For a light lunch or dinner, serve with a crusty baguette for sopping up the sauce. Enjoy!

Zu diesem leichten Gericht empfehle ich ein aufgebackenes Baguette, um es in die Soße zu dippen.
