Cuttlefish and winter melon spicy stewed rice

Overview

This recipe for spicy squid and winter melon risotto comes from a Japanese chef who was inspired by the local simple food experience after traveling to Portugal. I thought the recipe was great and wanted to give it to my husband, but he didn’t like one of the main ingredients and the key Parmesan cheese, so I made some adjustments and tried it, and my husband thought it was very delicious.
