Method

Main

1.Bring rice and 500ml water to the boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender (10-12 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside covered to steam (5-10 minutes).
2.Meanwhile, heat oil in deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic and sauté until translucent (2-4 minutes). Add squid and stock and simmer until squid is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated (15-20 minutes). Season to taste, deglaze pan with wine, add zucchini and peas and simmer until tender (5-7 minutes). Stir in rice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until warmed through (5-7 minutes). Add tomato, herbs and a drizzle of oil, and serve.

Note Black rice is available at Asian supermarkets and select grocery stores.
