Ingredients
- 2 large Fresh sepia (cuttlefish), cleaned
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cleaning the sepia thoroughly under cold water to remove any ink sacs and internal organs, ensuring only the white flesh remains. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, score the sepia with diagonal cuts on one side to help it cook evenly and absorb the seasoning.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
Preheat a plancha or flat grill over medium-high heat. It should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact.
Step 5
Brush the sepia with the olive oil mixture on both sides, making sure they are well-coated.
Step 6
Place the sepia onto the hot plancha, scored side down, and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the sepia over and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked sepia to a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the sepia before eating.
