Ingredients:

  • 5 cleaned cuttlefish (approximately 1 kilogram), sliced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4-5 fresh spring onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 1 kilogram various greens (spinach, Swiss chard, dandelion greens, purslane, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 bunch dill, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 wine glass dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • Lemon juice (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for drizzling)

Directions

In a pot, after thoroughly washing and cleaning the greens and cutting them, we add them together with the fresh spring onions and let them wilt.

Preparing the cuttlefish, we rinse them thoroughly and drain them.

We cut the cuttlefish in half, separating the body from the tentacles.

We cut the tentacles in half and also cut the remaining body into small pieces.

  1. In a pot, add the chopped dry onion and saute until translucent.
  2. Add the cuttlefish and garlic to the pot and saute until lightly cooked. Pour in the white wine and continue simmering the cuttlefish over low heat until they are tender.
  3. Ten minutes before the cuttlefish is done, use a perforated spoon to add the various greens to the pot. Allow them to simmer and blend their flavors.
  4. Just before removing the pot from the heat, take some broth from the dish and mix it with lemon juice and tahini. Pour this mixture back into the soup (optional).
  5. If needed, add some broth from the greens to the dish.
  6. By adding the greens separately, we prevent them from overcooking. If we were to add them while the cuttlefish were boiling, there would be a risk of the greens becoming rubbery due to the sudden temperature change.

Serve the cuttlefish soup with various greens hot, drizzled with olive oil. Enjoy this delightful and nourishing summer dish!
