Did black rice ever prove with Ali i oli? It is a recipe that I love, very typical of the Valencia area. It is really a fairly simple rice and similar to a rice with squid, only is dyed with squid ink (hence black rice). I love it because it has a rich sea flavor. And the combination with the All i Oli, which a priori made me make a face of suspicion, seems simply spectacular.
With the same recipe of this black rice they can make fideuá (by the way, Marta Gonzalez, I cannot say fideuá without thinking of you, your name knows me to Fideuá). And if they don't know what fideuá is, well, one day we will do. It is a rice that are noodles. If you know the fideuá and believe that this phrase is inappropriate, I ask you to think about it. Come? He was right.

A recipe with color: black rice with sepia
Although black rice with sepia acquires its characteristic dark color due to sepia ink, it is important to emphasize that rice itself is not black. The color comes exclusively from sepia ink , which is mixed with rice during cooking.
The visual contrast between the black rice and the ingredients that are added, such as sepia pieces or seafood, creates a surprising and attractive effect on the plate. The presentation is striking and can impress diners.

The sepia and other fresh shellfish are abundant in the area, which led to the creation of this dish so appreciated. Although black rice with sepia is a dish alone, it can also be used as a basis for other culinary preparations. For example, it can be used as an empanadas filling, paella or as an accompaniment for fish or shellfish dishes .
It is often cooked and presented in a paella , a large diameter and flat surface pan, widely used in Spanish cuisine. The paella allows rice to be cooking uniformly and a layer layer is formed (crunchy cortex at the base of rice).
The special and marine flavor of black rice
Black rice with sepia has a distinctive and delicious flavor. The dish is tasty and has a balance of marine and smoked flavors. Rice absorbs the taste of sepia ink, which gives it an intense and slightly salty flavor.

The sepia, on the other hand, provides a soft and slightly sweet taste to the plate. Its meat is tender and slightly firm, which adds a pleasant texture to the rice.
