Salt and Olive oil
In a mortar, crushed the ñora. Set aside.
In a paella pan, add the olive oil and sautee the garlic. Add and sautee/cook the squid or calamari. Incorporate the saffron and parsley. Add the fried tomato and squid ink. When it is simmering, add the rice and sautee for 3 minutes. Add the fumet, and salt and cook it for 20 minutes until it is almost done. Turn on the oven at 400F, place the rice in the oven for the last 5 minutes, and turn it off the stove. Leave it the rice in the oven resting for 10 minutes. ENJOY!
It must have tasted amazingly delicious with the combo of the flavours and I love the dramatic colour of squid ink.
ReplyDeleteYour dish reminds me very much of a dish my husband had while we were in Barcelona. It was at the restaurant Informal run by Michelin star chef Marc Gascons.
