Arroz con gambas y calamar

Ingredients:

  • Raw King Prawns - 24
  • Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Onion - 1 small
  • Bay Leaf - 1
  • Saffron - 1 pinch
  • Paella Rice - 450g
  • Tomato Puree - 2 teaspoons
  • White Wine - 200ml
  • Seafood stock - 650ml
  • Squid - 3 Medium

Instructions:

step 1 Peel and devein most of the prawns (a fishmonger should be able to do this for you), keeping a few whole for decoration, if you like. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or shallow flameproof casserole over a medium-low heat and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened. Add the bay leaf, saffron, rice and tomato purée, and cook for 1-2 mins more, stirring. step 2 Pour in the wine and bubble for 1-2 mins, then pour in the seafood stock and 150ml water. Cook for 5 mins, then add the squid, season well and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 12 mins more, adding a little more water if the mixture starts to look dry. step 3 Uncover the pan and stir through the peeled prawns, then arrange any whole prawns on top of the rice mixture. Cover again and simmer for a further 5-6 mins until the prawns are pink and cooked through. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes before serving from the pan.
