Return the pan with the oil to medium-high heat. When hot, fry the sliced Onion until soft, browned and caramelised, 7-9 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the rinsed rice, the cinnamon mix, the grated garlic, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined and fry until fragrant, 2-4 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the tomato paste and 225ml of water.

NUTTY, SWEET SALAD

Rinse the squid to remove any residue from the packet and pat dry with paper towel. Place a pan or grill pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the squid until lightly charred, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.
