Arroz negro, black rice, is a striking seafood dish with centuries of history that is enjoyed in Castellón, Valencia and Alicante. The recipe for black rice can vary depending on the fresh catch available at the fish market that day, but one essential ingredient is always present: squid ink, which gives it its signature black colour.
Black rice is perfect for gatherings with family and friends, cooked in the same shallow pan used for traditional dishes like paella and fideuà. This type of pan creates a thin layer of rice, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
