Technique to learn

Flash Seafood Braising

Simmering delicate seafood in a pre-developed aromatic base for a brief window to retain tenderness while absorbing deep broth flavors.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat, then add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the smoked paprika and crushed saffron threads, cooking for 30 seconds until intensely aromatic.

Step 3: Add crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock, bringing the broth to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavours. atmospheric

Step 4: Fold in the drained navy beans, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until the stew thickens slightly.

Step 5: Add the prepared squid rings and tentacles directly into the simmering bean broth, gently folding to coat.

Step 6: Cook over medium heat for exactly 3 to 4 minutes until the squid turns opaque and tender, then immediately remove from heat and serve warm.

Squid cooks extremely fast; cook for no longer than 4 minutes in hot liquid to avoid a tough texture.
Steep crushed saffron in two tablespoons of warm stock before adding to release its full color and floral aroma.
