Squid stuffed with ink and morcilla rice

Serves 4 Starters and mains

Ingredients

  • 2tbsp olive oil
  • 300g morcilla de burgos (black pudding with rice), sliced and skin removed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 100ml white wine or fino sherry
  • 1 sachet squid or cuttlefish ink
  • 8 small squid, cleaned
  • extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle lemon wedges

Method

Heat the oil in a sauté pan, add the morcilla and fry over a medium heat until golden brown, then remove to a plate and set aside.

Add the onion to the pan and fry gently for 5 minutes until softened, then add the morcilla back to the pan. Add the wine or sherry and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the ink.

Season and simmer for 5 minutes until the morcilla breaks down. Allow to cool a little. Stuff the squid with the morcilla and season on the outside. Heat a heavy-based pan or plancha over a high heat and quickly sear the stuffed squid.

Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and the lemon wedges.
