GOLDEN RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot with the turmeric. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and stir through. Pop on a lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes.
SAUTÉ THE SQUID
Boil the kettle. Rinse the squid to get rid of any residue from the packet and pat dry with some paper towel. Place a large pan for the paella over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the squid for 3-4 minutes until cooked through and starting to brown. Remove from the pan on completion and place in a bowl. Toss through some lemon zest and seasoning to taste. Dilute the stock with 30ml of boiling water.
SPEEDY PAELLA
When the rice has 10 minutes to go, return the pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 1-2 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and halved tomatoes, and fry for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the diluted stock, smoked paprika, chopped olives, white wine, and some lemon zest to taste. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until reduced and sticky. Add the cooked squid to the pan and stir through until coated and reheated.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Keeping the pan over the heat, add in the cooked turmeric rice, the peas, three-quarters of the chopped parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir for about a minute until combined. Season to taste and remove the pan from the heat on completion.
