Equipment

  • 1 pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Fresh or frozen cuttlefish cleaned and cut into bite-sized cubes.
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 2 Fresh or canned artichokes sliced thin 
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by heating a generous swirl of olive oil in a deep pan. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the thinly sliced artichokes. Sautéing them early allows them to caramelize slightly, adding a nutty depth to the stew.
  • Toss in the cuttlefish. Cook for a few minutes.
  • Pour in the white wine and vegetable stock. This is where the magic happens—the liquid picks up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan
  • Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This softens the cuttlefish until it’s tender but still has a pleasant “bite.”
  • Fold in the fresh spinach and spices. Spinach wilts in seconds, so 5 minutes is all you need. Adjust the salt and serve.

Notes

  • Make it ahead: This stew actually tastes better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld. You can prepare it in the morning and simply reheat it for a stress-free dinner.
