Arroz negro is Valencia's squid-ink rice: bomba rice cooked in a black squid-ink broth with cuttlefish, folded with sofrito and finished with a sear in a steel paella pan. Served with allioli on the side.
Arroz negro emerged in the Cabanyal fishing quarter, where cuttlefish ink was a free flavouring from the daily catch. The rice takes on the dramatic black colour from the ink, with the cuttlefish chopped through the rice. The dish became canonical across Valencia and the Catalan coast, served at La Riua and most Valencian rice kitchens. The allioli on the side cuts the richness of the ink.
