Risotto with calamari is a proposal for a first course for dinner on Christmas Eve, atraditional menu for all seafood, from starters to traditional frying. To prepare thisrecipe you need to buy a kilo of squid, preferably small size of rice for risotto, and thendry white wine and saffron. Garlic and onions along with bay leaf contribute to flavor thedish. As with any risotto, even in this case you toast the rice with the main ingredientbefore adding the broth. In this case we recommend hot water because the right mix ofingredients does not require an additional flavor.
Ingredients for the risotto with squid (serves 4):
* 350 g of rice for risotto
* 1 kg of squid (preferably small)
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 2 packets of saffron
* 2 tablespoons tomato paste
* 1 red pepper
* 2 cloves of garlic
* 1 medium onion
* 1 bay leaf
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* Sale
Preparation:
Peel the squid, empty and wash well. Then cut them into pieces. Then cut into smallpieces garlic cloves.
In a large saucepan Brown the chopped onion in oil, add the squid and fry for acouple of minutes, until they almost brown.
Add the rice and toast it for a couple of minutes stirring constantly. Then add the saffron dissolved in a few tablespoons of hot water, garlic, bay leaf, chili pepper andchopped tomato.
Stir, add the wine and after a few minutes, add the hot water needed to cover the riceby at least a finger. Add salt and cook over low heat until the water will not be fullyabsorbed for at least 15 minutes.
Turn occasionally and add more hot water if evaporated watered rice is not cookedyet.
