Spanish term or phrase: Guiso de sepia...
GUISO DE SEPIA ESCONDIDO EN RISOTTO A LA MILANESA. (Name of a dish on a menu)
aodh
risotto alla milanesa made with cuttlefish stew
Explanation:
Sepia is definitely cuttlefish. I'm wondering if the "escondido" means that the "stock" used to make the risotto in this case is "cuttlefish stew", i.e. the juice and bits of cuttlefish.
I personally don't like risotto and have never made it, but adding a ref that uses chicken stock so you can see what I mean! (hopefully)

CUTTLEFISH something


Explanation:
Now I'm not at all sure about ESCONDIDO in the Risotto. I don't have a high enough ponceyness coefficient to think up something like that and anyway it sounds like there is only about 1 mg of cuttlefish in the rice (probably is). Stew sounds too hearty.

How about: Cuttlefish in Risotto alla Milanesa /Risotto alla Milanesa with Cuttlefish.

mushroom stew


Explanation:
I'm prety sure sepia (at least in Spain) is mushroom, which would make sense in a risotto

disagree  Sheilann: No way! Sepia belongs to the squid famil but it is not so highly appreciated. Mushroon in Spanish is CHAMPIÑÓN.
