Serves 4

Ingredients

For the red pepper relish

  • 3 red peppers, seeded and cut into 1cm dices
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, cut into 1cm dices
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 50g soft dark brown sugar
  • 50ml red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked sweet paprika
  • salt and pepper

For the chorizo stir-fry

  • 100g fresh chorizo, cut into 5mm slices
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 200g cleaned fresh squid, cut into thin rings
  • 125g very ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 tbsp chopped flat-leaved parsley
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, quartered

Method: How to make squid and chorizo stir-fry

1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and lightly fry the onion, garlic and peppers in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, toasted coriander and sweet paprika. Cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until soft and jam-like in consistency.

2. Remove from the heat, cool slightly and pulse in food processor for a few minutes but do not allow to purée. Check the seasoning.

3. Heat a cast iron frying pan until very hot. Add a splash of olive oil and the chorizo. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, tossing to prevent burning. Add the onion and cook for 30 seconds. Add the squid and cook for 1 minute, until barely cooked, stirring all the time. Add the cherry tomatoes and parsley, soy sauce and freshly ground black pepper. Check the seasoning. If not salty enough, add more soy sauce.

4. To serve pile on to 4 plates with a dollop of red pepper relish on top of each pile and with lemon wedges on the side.
