  1. A IS FOR ALMONDS

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. FRAGRANT RICE

    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. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Most of the water should be absorbed and the rice should be fully cooked.

  3. NUTTY, SWEET SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, ¾ of the chopped sultanas, and ½ the toasted almonds.

  4. PAN-FRIED SQUID

    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.

  5. A TASTE SENSATION!

    Serve up a bed of the cinnamon rice. Top with the grilled squid and drizzle over the lemon juice (to taste). Sprinkle over the remaining almonds and the sultanas. Side with the salad. Sahtein, Chef!
