2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup water

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the potatoes. Place the sliced potatoes in the Varoma dish, ensuring they are evenly spread. Set aside.

2. In the mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and bell peppers. Chop for 5 seconds on Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

3. Add the olive oil to the bowl and sauté the mixture for 5 minutes at 120°C on Speed 1.

4. Add the paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes at 120°C on Speed 1.

5. Insert the simmering basket into the mixing bowl. Place the calamari rings in the basket, ensuring they are spread out evenly.

6. Pour the white wine and water into the mixing bowl. Cook for 10 minutes at Varoma temperature on Speed 1.

7. While the calamari is cooking, steam the potatoes in the Varoma dish for 20 minutes at Varoma temperature on Speed 1. Once cooked, set the potatoes aside.

8. Carefully remove the simmering basket from the mixing bowl, allowing the excess liquid to drain. Set the calamari aside.

9. Empty the liquid from the mixing bowl and return the sautéed onion, garlic, and bell pepper mixture to the bowl.

10. Add the cooked potatoes to the bowl and mix for 10 seconds on Speed 3. The potatoes should be slightly mashed but still retain their texture.
