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.
