Ingredients
  

  • 700 g cleaned squid tubes
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 75 g chorizo diced
  • 1 whole onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 100 g basmati rice
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 3 whole tomatoes chopped
  • 200 ml chicken stock
  • 1 bunch flat leaf parsley small, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°c. Heat half the olive oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat and add in the chorizo. Fry off for 2-3 minutes, and then add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for around 10 minutes, until the onion begins to soften. Tip in the garlic and cook for another minute, then add the rice and stir well.
  • Pour in the wine and simmer until almost completely reduced. Add the tomatoes and stock, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir through parsley and season to taste.
  • Make a small hole at the pointed end of the squid tube to prevent bursting, then stuff with the rice mixture. Place in a baking tray, spooning any extra filling on top. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil on top and bake for 20 minutes.
