Squid Ink Paella

Made this last night as part of a tapas dinner. The aioli was a must and really brought it all together. Paella? risotto? either way was easily the hit of the night. Give it a go...you know what they say try black...give the sqid ink a go. YUMMO.

This was definitely a paella... It was really nice and quite easy. I'll definitely make it again but next time I'll try it with fish stock instead of chicken stock for a more fishy flavour. Some mussels and extra parsley would also be delicious I think. I served it with aioli and fresh lemon. YUM!

i think this recipe is more of a risotto rather than a paella. other than adding a few spanish flavours to it, the dish screams risotto to me. Perhaps the way he added all the stock at once and not slowly toping up when becoming dry does differ from a risotto but this dish is NOT a paella.
