How to make Squid Risotto directions
- 1
In a medium sauté pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add half of chopped garlic and oregano and cook for about 1 minute. Season squid with salt and pepper and add to the garlic with oregano. Cook until it starts to curl, only about 1 minute. Drain the squid and set aside.

Ladle in 1/2 cup of broth, stir constantly, and cook until the broth is absorbed. Add another 1/2 cup of broth and allow it to be absorbed before adding another 1/2 cup. Cook this way, stirring, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 20 minutes. Mix in the squid and heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
