Hello everybody, here I am with a new recipe, this time the main ingrediants are rice and squid and like the previous is very easy and savory. The name of the recipe is Rice with Squid, but in my parent's house we used to call it pink rice, and not because my own name, if not because if you don't remove the skin from the squid, that is the color that the rice turn in. Nowadays you can find the squid clean, and its color is almost white, but you can get the same color in the dish with paprika.
Ingredients:
4 serves
1/2 kg squid
350gr rice
1 onion
1 carrot
1 leek (white part only)
1/2 small green pepper
1/2 small red pepper
2 gloves of garlic
1 tablespoon paprika
4 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
1 liter water
Chop the vegetables in small pieces, carrot and leek in circles or disks. You have two alternatives, if you want you can do it in the same pot (or pressure cooker) or fry the vegetables with the squid in a frypan, and then finish it in the ordinary pot or pressure cooker.
The squid has to be very tender for this dish, if you want that it will be really good, for which you must cook it very well first with the vegetables.
Fry the onion in olive oil, once browned, add the squid, stir everything well, add salt and cook for 3-4 minutes, and now go adding the remaining vegetables one by one.
Now add a tablespoon of paprika and a little of water and leave it for 15 minutes over medium heat or 4 minutes in a pressure cooker.
After this you only have to add two garlic cloves, whole with the skin, the rice and the rest of the water. Test the salt and add more if necesary. Close the pressure cooker and leave for 6 minutes or 20 minutes in a tradicional pot.
If you like garlic flavour, you can peel and crush them, if not, remove the garlic cloves.
Is easy, right?
¡Salud!
