Method
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan or casserole. Add the onions, garlic and salt. Stir a couple of times and reduce the heat. Cover and let the onions sweat gently for
- a good 10 minutes.
- Add the cuttlefish or squid and the potatoes. Stir for a couple of minutes to coat in the oil and onions. Add the tomato purèe, paprika and wine and turn up the heat so that the wine bubbles for a couple of minutes. Add the beans, plus all their liquor, the sugar and saffron, then top up with just enough water to cover it. 3. Cook, covered, on a gentle heat for 40-45 minutes or until the cuttlefish is tender enough to break with a fork.
