Xavier Matarrodona presents a cuttlefish recipe accompanied by a special stir-fry sauce

Some experts claim a return to the roots and utmost simplification of some dish flavours. With the recipe suggested by the chef of the Cullera de Boix restaurants, Xavier Matarrodona, we will achieve this goal.
This is a griddle-cooked cuttlefish dish, with its ink and accompanied
by one of the most traditional preparations of local cuisine, the pisto,
which some call the Catalan sofrito (stir-fry sauce) or the local version of the
ratatouille. A recipe that takes us back to the roots of Catalan cuisine.
