Ingredients:

2 cups of Bomba rice

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 tomato, grated

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads

4 cups of fish stock

1/2 cup of white wine

1 pound of small squid, cleaned and sliced into rings

Salt and pepper to taste

Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Squid:

Season the squid with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the squid and cook for 2-3 minutes until just opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking time: 2-3 minutes

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.

Cooking time: 5 minutes

3. Add the Rice and Spices:

Stir in the Bomba rice and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly toasted. Add the grated tomato, smoked paprika, and saffron threads. Mix well to combine.

Cooking time: 2-3 minutes

4. Deglaze with Wine:

Pour in the white wine and cook until it has evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Cooking time: 2 minutes

5. Cook the Rice:

Gradually add the fish stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Cook for about 20 minutes until the rice is al dente.

Cooking time: 20 minutes

6. Add the Squid:

Once the rice is almost cooked, add the cooked squid back into the skillet and mix well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the squid through.

Cooking time: 2-3 minutes

7. Serve and Enjoy:

Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the Arroz Negro con Chipirones hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh parsley. Enjoy the rich flavors of the sea in every bite!
