  • Heat the stock in a saucepan and infuse with the saffron. Set aside. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil and toss in the prawns. Cook for 2 mins, then push to one side and add the squid to cook for 1 min. Remove and set aside on a plate. Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the celery and onion for about 15 mins, then toss in the garlic, fennel seeds, tomato puree and paprika, and cook for another 5 mins. Add the rice to the pan, stir well, pour in the wine and 1 litre of stock. Simmer gently for 15 mins.
