Cheat&#8217;s squid and chorizo paella

tbsp oil

butter

onion, finely sliced

garlic cloves, crushed

long-grain rice, rinsed in cold water

saffron threads (optional)

lemon

chicken stock,

raw chorizo, sliced

small squid,

frozen peas, defrosted

flatleaf parsley, chopped

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. 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.

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.

Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chorizo slices to the pan and fry for 5-10 minutes until golden and cooked through, then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining butter to the pan and increase the heat to high. Season the squid with sea salt and black pepper and fry for 1-2 minutes until just cooked. Set aside.

Remove the rice from the oven and stir in the squid, chorizo and peas. Check the seasoning, stir in the parsley and lemon juice, then serve.
