Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 80 g cleaned raw squid
  • 8 whole raw prawns
  • 700 ml ready-to-use fish stock
  • 40 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 200 g dry J. Sendra round-grain rice
  • 1 pinch of fine salt — optional
  • 100 g plain crushed tomatoes
  • 4 g pasteurised food-grade cuttlefish ink
  • 80 g cleaned raw cuttlefish

Preparation

  1. Cut cuttlefish and squid into small pieces and chop the garlic. Heat all the oil in a level paella pan. Sear the prawns for about 2 min, turning, then set aside on a plate. Fry cuttlefish and squid for about 5 min until their released water evaporates.
