This is probably one of the best arroz dishes I have cooked for a while. The perfect balance of land and sea through the mellow sweetness of the squid and the rich and earthy flavours of the sobrasada sausage. The secret? Blend some of the sobrasada sausage into the hot chicken stock before flavouring the rice for a more intense flavour.
