Ingredients to make Rice with squid and coloring:
- 500 grams of squid strips clean and fresh
- 200 grams of bomba rice
- 1 piece of red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 piece of green pepper
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 jet of Oil
- 1 tablespoon food coloring
- Water (3 small glasses of water for every small glass of rice)
How to make Rice with squid and coloring:
- The first step to prepare this rice with squid and coloring is to make a stir-fry with the vegetables. To do this, chop the onion, pepper and garlic, put it in a casserole with olive oil and put it on the fire so that the vegetables in the calamari paella begin to brown.
- While the vegetables are frying, prepare a casserole with water and the coloring and heat it up. You can also prepare a seafood stock or a fish fumet in a place where you only put water.
- When the sauce is well done, we remove it and crush it in the glass of the blender or electric mixer. I grind it because I don’t like to find the pieces of vegetables in the rice with squid but you can leave them whole if you want.
- Separately, we fry the squid in the same casserole of the sauce.
- When the squids are almost done, we add the rice, stir it and let it cook for 5 more minutes.
- Next, we add the sofrito to the white rice with calamari
- And then add the water with the coloring, and let the rice with squid cook for approximately 15 minutes.
- Once the time has passed, we try that the rice with squid and coloring is almost done or to the point. Remove it, letting it rest for 5 minutes and serve.
