Black Ink Risotto
in Kotor
Kotor's black risotto leans in to the bay: cuttlefish ink, stock, garlic, and rice cooked until glossy, briny, and deeply savory. It is one of the clearest Adriatic signatures on local menus.
Did you know?
Along the eastern Adriatic, black risotto is usually colored with cuttlefish or squid ink rather than charcoal or dye, so the flavor stays unmistakably marine.
