Squid risotto with chilli and coriander
about 450g/1lb squid
2 tbs olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 fresh chilli, seeded and finley sliced
275g/10oz/1.5 cups risotto rice
175ml/6 oz white wine
1L/1.75pints/4cups simmering fish stock (I reackon a vege stock can be used here too)
2 tbs chopped fresh coriander
salt and fresh black pepper
For the marinade
2 ripe kiwi fruit
1 fresh chilli, seeded and finely sliced
2 tbs fresh lime juice
(this is apparently a popular method to marindae in New Zealand, would explain the kiwi fruit I reackon)
If not already, clean and prepare the squid
Mash the kiwi fruit in a bowl then stir in chilli and lime juice, add squid and stir to coat evenly season with fresh pepper and salt, cover with cling film and set in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight
(apparently this is a great way to tenderize the squid....I know I don't like it too chewy!!)
Drain the squid, heat 1 tbs oil in a frying pan and cook for about 30-60 second over high heat (in batches if necessary). If too much liquid accumulates in pan set aside), the squid should be fried not simmered. It is important the squid cooks very quickly. Transfer squid to a plate and set aside.
Heat remaining oil in a pan, add onion and garlic and cook gently for 5-6 mins till soft, add sliced chilli and cook for another minute.
Add the rice and cook for a few minutes till rice is translucent, then stir in the wine till it is all absorbed.
Gradually add hot stock and reserved squid juice, ladel at a time till three quaters has been used. Stir in the squid and continue cooking till all the stock is used and rice it tender but has a bit of bite.
Stir in chopped coriander, cover with a lid and rest for a few minutes till serving.

Lots of good stuff, some recipes are a bit heavy on the fat but are really easy to modify.
