Cut the squid into rings and keep the rice ready without washing it.
Quickly saute the squid in olive oil for 3 minutes and set it aside.
Soften the onion in the same pan for 7 minutes.
Add the garlic and grated tomato, then reduce the sofrito for 8 minutes.
Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes, until coated with oil.
Dissolve the ink in the fish stock, pour it into the pan, and return the squid.
Cook the rice for 18 minutes without stirring.
Remove the pan from the heat, rest for 5 minutes, and serve with lemon, parsley, and alioli.
💡 Tip: Once the rice is spread in the pan, avoiding extra stirring helps a lightly crisp socarrat form on the bottom.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lemon wedges, parsley, and garlicky alioli.
