Step-by-step Guide
Preparation
- Prepare a mixture with the ripe tomato, peeled and seedless, the garlic cloves, and the fresh parsley. Blend everything with the stick blender and set aside.
- Bring the bottled water to a boil in a saucepan, to have it ready when it is necessary to incorporate it into the cooking.
- Cut the squid into small pieces, ensuring all pieces are a similar size to cook evenly.
- Sauté the squid in a casserole with olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it begins to lightly brown.
- Add a bit of salt to the squid to enhance its flavor.
- Add the green pepper, diced into small cubes, to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the ground mixture passed through a food processor. Continue sautéing for 2-3 minutes, stirring well to integrate the flavors.
- Add the white wine to the pot to deglaze. Let the wine reduce and the alcohol evaporate, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add the boiling bottled water to the pot, stirring to mix all the ingredients well.
- Increase the heat to High, and when the water is vigorously boiling, add the rice evenly across the pot.
- Boil the rice on High heat for 6 minutes, ensuring it does not stick to the bottom.
- Reduce the heat to LOW and continue cooking for an additional 6 minutes to allow the rice to slowly absorb the flavors.
- Add the tender peas and maintain the boil for another 3 minutes, until the peas are tender yet firm.
- Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it rest covered for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to fully integrate.
Recommendations & Tricks
- When cleaning the squid, ensure you remove the dark skin and internal parts completely to avoid any bitter flavors in the final dish.
- When adding ripe tomato to the sofrito, peel and grate it beforehand to ensure a uniform texture and quicker cooking.
- To enhance the flavor of the green pepper, first heat it in a pan without oil until its skin begins to slightly blacken, then add it to the rice for a slightly smoky taste.
