Cuttlefishes are very popular in many countries around the world. This recipe is adopted from Greek cuisine (σουπιές κρασάτες) and very similar to many meat stews and ragouts. During cooking, cuttlefishes loose plenty of water, therefore for one portion it is necessary to take at least half kilo of fresh cuttlefishes.
