- Low the heat, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add the squid ink and keep cooking over medium-low heat for another 5-8 minutes. Adjust fine salt and add chilli pepper.

This seems like an awful lot of squid ink. David Tanis, for instance, calls for 1 tbsp for a paella that serves 8. I've made that before and it was amazing - and inky...So, what gives?
