Instructions

  1. 1

    Keep stock warm on low heat and steep saffron in 2 tablespoons of warm stock for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté onion and garlic for 3 minutes until translucent.

  3. 3

    Add rice and toast for 2 minutes, then pour in white wine and cook until mostly evaporated.

  4. 4

    Add warm stock one ladle at a time, stirring until absorbed; repeat for 16-18 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in saffron-infused stock midway, then add shrimp and squid and cook for 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Turn off heat, fold in butter and Parmesan, then rest for 1 minute for a creamy finish.

Tips

Keep stock warm so the rice releases starch evenly for better texture.
Cook seafood near the end to avoid a rubbery texture.
