Risotto with ink black is an Italian first course easy to prepare and very tasteful. The main ingredients are obviously the rice, the cuttlefishes and ink black. I cooked this risotto using a vegetable broth and not the cooking water of the cuttlefishes because I prefer a more delicate taste instead of the more strong taste of fish. During the Christmas Eve traditionally in Italy we cook fish and to meat so from the appetizer, to the first course and also the main course are fish based dishes. For this reason Risotto with ink black and cuttlefishes could be a delicious suitable first course for the dinner of Christmas Eve.
