Cheat’s squid and chorizo paella

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas Heat the oil and half the butter in a small casserole or flameproof dish with a lid. Fry the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the rice and fry for 1-2 minutes until coated in the oil and butter, then add the saffron, lemon zest and hot stock. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the stock has been absorbed.
