    This is my version of seafood paella. I made it mild than normal since not everyone in the family like it hot, but I do! :D

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine
    • 1/2 tsp saffron threads
    • 1 tbs olive oil
    • 1 Spanish onion, finely chopped
    • 1 red capsicum, seeded, finely chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 large ripe tomato, halved, seeded, finely chopped
    • 2 tsp mild Spanish paprika
    • 1 cup (200g) medium grain rice (such as calrose)
    • 2 cups (500ml) chicken or seafood stock
    • 12 (about 1kg) green king prawns, peeled, cleaned
    • 2 squid hoods, cleaned, cut into 1cm-thick rings
    • 12 (about 1kg) black mussels, scrubbed, debearded
    • 1kg clams
    • 1 cup (150g) frozen peas
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
    • Lemon wedges, to serve

    Directions

    1. Combine wine and saffron in a pan over low heat and bring to a simmer. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the saffron to infuse.
    2. Heat the oil in a large paella or large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, capsicum and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion softens.
    3. Add the tomato and paprika and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the rice, stock and wine mixture and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until rice is almost tender.
    4. Add prawns, squid, mussels and clams and push lightly into the rice mixture. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Sprinkle over the peas and cook, covered, for a further 2-3 minutes or until prawns change colour and mussels and clams open.
    5. Remove from heat. Discard any unopened mussels and clams. Sprinkle with parsley.
    6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
