BABY SQUID IN INK SAUCE
Chipirones en su tinta are a classic Basque dish made from line caught baby squid cooked in a sauce made with cuttlefish ink. The origin of this dish is quite debatable, some say that the influence of using squid ink in Basque cuisine comes from the Philippines through Jesuit missionaries who travelled to Asia during the 17th Century. The only other European dish made with squid ink is 'risotto nero' which originated in Venice, a commercial city heavily influenced by Jesuits. Basque chipirones does share a lot of similarities with a classic Philippinnes dish called 'adobong pusit' made from squid cooked in rice vinegar and soya sauce, fried with a garnish that contains squid ink. The jet black colour of this sauce is quite striking and will certainly raise some eye brows. However, this sauce is so moorish it will make your dinner guests dunk their bread until they clear the whole plate. This sauce has a beautiful balanced sweet flavour coming from the red onions, it is hearty and brings real earthiness to the dish, demonstrating once again how Basque food is inventive yet humble food. The sauce is really a vegetable cream enriched with the ink. I recommend using cuttlefish ink rather than squid ink, purely because squid ink is less dense and intense in flavour because squid live in deep waters with less natural light, whilst cuttlefish tend to live close to the surface taking on more natural light and making their ink more intense in flavour. Chipirones should be made a day in advance, so the squid really takes on the flavour of the sauce and they develop a soft texture.

Steps:
- Prepare the squid by separating the head from the body, remove the feather cartilage and any other gunk you come into contact with. Wash the body under cold running water. Cut the head away from the tentacles by slicing just under the eyes (discard the head) and push out the beak from the middle of the tentacles. Pull with your hands the side fins from each squid and finely chop them together with the tentacles. Stuff this mix into each squid and close the top with a wooden toothpick. Set aside.
- To make the ink sauce, use a medium size saucepan and heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced red onions and green pepper and cook on a gentle heat for 30 minutes until they are very soft. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes on a low heat. Add the txakoli wine and reduce the liquid by half. Add the squid ink and cook for 2 minutes. Add the fish stock, season the sauce with sea salt and cook for a further 20 minutes on a low heat. Check the seasoning of the sauce and place in a food processor or blender. Blend until fully combined, the sauce should have the consistency of a tomato sauce. If you need to thin it down slightly add some more fish stock. Pour the sauce into a medium size pan and keep hot.
- To cook the squid, you need to do this in 4 batches. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil per batch until smoking hot. Fry the squid very quickly in the hot oil, for about 2 minutes each side, season with salt and pour in one quarter of the brandy to deglaze the pan, spoon the squid into the hot squid ink sauce. Repeat this process with the rest of the squid.
- Once all the squid is in the sauce, cover with a lid and cook on a low heat for 30 minutes or until the squid is tender. Serve with some bomba or short grain rice, fried in olive oil and garlic and cooked for 17 minutes in fish stock. Sprinkle with freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley.

Don't be put off by the color of the ink! This is one of the best dishes I tried while in Spain, and is well worth the time it takes to prepare. My friend had to convince me to try this one, but once I did, I realized it is one of the finest foods on the face of the Earth!! Try it and see for yourself!

- Begin by cleaning the squid. Pulling the head and tentacles out, look for the ink sacks. Be careful not to puncture them. Pull each sack out and place them in a separate small bowl. Then continue cleaning the squid, pulling off the skin, separating the tentacles from the head (keep the tentacles, throw out the head), pulling out the cartilage and ultimately chopping the body into squares.
- Sauté the onion and the squid in olive oil in a medium sized sauce pan over a medium heat. You will begin to see that the squid and the onion will release water while cooking. When onion is translucent; add the tomato sauce, and combine it well. Once it is mixed, add the paprika and stir. Then add the garlic, salt and parsley the ones you mashed in mortar. Mix everything and lower the heat.
- Take a fine strainer and place the three ink sacks into it. Hold the strainer over your pot and crush the ink sacks with a spoon so that the ink drips into the pot. Make sure the sacks do not go in the pot. Pour some water over the ink sacks through the strainer to get as much ink as possible out of them. If there is any ink left in the bowl where you kept the sacks, pour the rest of the water in bowl, swirl it around, and pour it into the pot, too.
