The weekend is time to prepare rice in many houses, also yours? Although now the circumstances are quite less normal, in Bezzia we wanted to continue with this routine also during this quarantine preparing this rice with squid (or squid).
Preparing this rice does not involve any complications. You can prepare it both with fresh squid and frozen squid, as we have done, and add other seafood if you want. And add fish broth or water; although here if you will notice a big difference between one and the other result.
As in almost all the rice dishes we make, here we have also started preparing a vegetable sofrito. Onion and pepper sofritos add a lot of flavor to rice so we never forget to include them. Do you usually start cooking rice dishes like that, too? Try it!
