Squid with chorizo and beans
Ingredients
4 fresh chorizo sausages, hot or mild, thickly sliced on the diagonal
750g/1½lb canned white beans (cannellini, white kidney, alubias), drained and rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
100ml/3½fl oz chicken stock or water
1 tsp smoked paprika
140g/5oz plain flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
450g/1lb fresh squid (calamari), cleaned
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
110g/4oz rocket leaves
1 lemon, quartered
Preparation method
-
Fry the chorizo slices in olive oil in a frying pan until they crisp a little on the edges. Add the beans, chicken stock and paprika and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
-
Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika together. Put a colander over a basin. Cut the squid bodies into 1cm/½in rings and the tentacles into small sections.
-
Toss the squid pieces in the flour, then tip them into the colander and vigorously shake off the excess flour into the bowl below.
-
Heat 3 tbsp light olive oil in a frying pan until hot and fry the squid very quickly, turning once, then drain on a paper towel. Do this in batches rather than crowding the pan.
-
Divide the beans and sausage between four warmed dinner plates, scatter with rocket leaves (if using) and arrange the fried squid on top. Serve with lemon wedges.
