6 Kg. cuttlefish (size ½ before cleaning)

600 gr. horns of plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides)

Olive oil

80 gr. flesh of black land crab

Butter

Soy sauce

Fleur de sel

PREPARATION:

Clean the cuttlefish and grind the flesh to form a smooth paste. Dip a spatula in oil and use to shape the cuttlefish paste into 10 rectangles 0.5 cm (¼") thick, on plastic film. Set aside.

Sauté the horns of plenty in a little oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside. When cold, mix with the crab flesh, season and divide out amongst the 10 cuttlefish rectangles. Roll up. Bake in the oven at 80ºC (176ºF) for 12 min. Heat butter in a frying-pan until foaming, dip the rolls in it. Deglaze the pan with soy sauce.
