If there’s one dish you must have at the Time Out Market in Lisbon, it is the squid ink risotto with wakame and seared scallops by Alexandre Silva. The brininess of the squid ink paired with the creaminess of a strong cheese like gorgonzola just go hand-in-hand. Enter the nutty wakame salad and you have yourself a winner. Definite date night quality. Or if you just want to treat yourself. Slosh down with a glass of pinot. Do it!

Recipe after the jump!
