Mljetski rižot is a traditional risotto originating from the island of Mljet. The risotto is usually made with a combination of rice, cuttlefish, onions, olive oil, tomatoes, white wine, garlic, capers, parsley, salt, and pepper. The onions are sautéed in olive oil and mixed with peeled and chopped tomatoes.

The mixture is simmered for a short while and the cuttlefish are then added to the pan and cooked until almost fully tender. Rice is added to the pot, and the ingredients are covered with water. The dish is continuously stirred as it cooks, and once the rice is almost done, white wine, garlic, capers, parsley, salt, and pepper are added to the risotto.
