HOW TO MAKE BAKED CUTTLEFISH

Step 1: Clean, wash the cuttlefish and cut into pieces. Wash the potatoes and cut them in half.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 4: In a baking dish, place the potatoes and the cuttlefish.

Step 5: Drizzle with the olive oil mixture and bake for about 1 hour or until the potatoes and cuttlefish start to brown.

TIPS FOR BAKED CUTTLEFISH

1. If the cuttlefish and the potatoes start to brown too much reduce the oven temperature or cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually bake at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to bake, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors and the cuttlefish gets more tender and tasty.

3. If you want to eat later or another day, store the cuttlefish and the potatoes in the refrigerator in an airtight container (don't forget to let it cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator).

To prevent the food from drying out, do not reheat the cuttlefish and potatoes in the oven. Our suggestion is to reheat in the microwave.

4. You can season the recipe with chopped coriander or chopped parsley. Both ingredients go well with this recipe, it really depends on your personal taste.
