Crni rižot

Typically served as a light lunch and a staple of many Dalmatian taverns (called konoba) and restaurants, crni rižot is a unique black risotto made with fresh squid or cuttlefish. Squid or cuttlefish ink gives the risotto its intimidating black color, while other seafood such as mussels, clams, and other shellfish are also commonly added to the dish. Just watch your smile as your teeth and lips will most probably turn black while eating it. Although the origins are still somewhat murky, it is believed that the dish was invented while Croatia was under Venetian rule, and that's the reason why it spread first in Veneto (where it's known as risotto nero di seppia) and then throughout the Mediterranean.
