Warm the Olive Oil in a heavy casserole and brown the squid well on all sides — real colour means real flavour.

3
Return the squid, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.
4
Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.
5
Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh parsley right before serving.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the smoked paprika in the oil before adding anything wet.
