5. Once ready, stuff the hollow squid with your cooked stuffing ingredients and hold together with a cocktail stick.
6. To the refrito, add the wine, stock cube, diluted with boiling water, salt, pepper, saffron and add your stuffed squid, place on a medium heat for 30 minutes or until soft and add more water if necessary.
7. Once the squid is soft, add a handful of rice per person and add more water, cook until the rice is soft and ready.
