Ingredients
| Rice grain | 125 Gram | |
| 300 ml / 1/2 pint fish stock | ||
| 225 g / 8 oz squid, cleaned | ||
| Finely grated rind of 1 lemon | ||
| Garlic | 1 Clove (5gm), crushed | |
| 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped | ||
| Coriander | 2 Tablespoon, chopped | |
| Lemon juice | 2 Tablespoon | |

Directions
1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then place in a saucepan with the stock.
2. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and leave the pan covered so the rice can steam while you cook the squid.
4. Remove the tentacles from the squid and reserve.
5. Cut the body cavity in half. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, score the inside flesh of the body cavity in a diamond pattern. Do not cut all the way through.
6. Mix the lemon rind, crushed garlic and chopped shallot together.
7. Place the squid in a shallow bowl and sprinkle over the lemon mixture and stir.
8. Heat a griddle pan until almost smoking. Cook the squid for 3-4 minutes until cooked through, then slice.
9. Sprinkle with the coriander and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the rice and serve immediately with the squid.
