Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- half a small bunch of parsley, stalks and leaves separated, both finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed or finely grated
- 300g paella or short-grain rice
- 600ml fish stock
- 2 tsp or 2 x 4g sachets squid ink
- 250ml vermouth blanco or fino sherry
- 280g jar chargrilled artichokes in oil, drained, a few reserved whole and the rest roughly chopped
- 400g cleaned squid (ask your fishmonger to do this for you), chopped into rings
- lemon wedges, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a low heat and fry the onion, carrot and parsley stalks for 12-15 mins until softened but not golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins, then stir in the rice and fry for a few minutes until starting to turn translucent.
- STEP 2
Combine the stock and squid ink in a jug and set aside. Pour the vermouth or sherry into the rice and cook for a few minutes until reduced a little, then pour in the inky stock, chopped artichokes and squid. Mix well, then put in the oven and cook for 35-40 mins until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Scatter over the whole artichokes and parsley leaves. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
