Tender pieces of squid are gently cooked and enveloped in a rich, jet-black ink sauce — one of Galicia’s signature seafood preparations. The sauce is deeply savoury, with a touch of the sea and a hint of sweetness from slow cooking. Delicious warmed over rice or stirred through spaghetti with a drizzle of good olive oil.
 
Wine match: Pair with an Albariño from Rías Baixas for a bright, saline contrast, or a crisp Australian Vermentino.
