Notes and Tips

Cut potatoes and cuttlefish into similar pieces: to cook them evenly and get a well-balanced stew.

Choose the right liquid: The liquid used to cover the ingredients is important as it will affect the final taste of the stew. You can use water or fish broth, but the fish broth will give a more intense and authentic flavor to the stew.

Cook at medium-low heat: It's important to cook the stew at a moderate temperature so the potatoes slowly cook and soften, and the cuttlefish has time to absorb all the flavors from the sauté.

Constantly stir: It's important to constantly stir the stew while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pan and to mix the ingredients evenly.

Add paprika at the end: Paprika is a very aromatic ingredient and should be added at the end of cooking so its flavor doesn't get lost.

Test the salt and adjust if necessary: At the end of cooking, it's important to taste the stew and adjust the salt if necessary to achieve the desired flavor.
