Ingredients
Method
– Place the onion, tomato, garlic cloves, capsicum and coriander in a food processor and blend until smooth to make a sofrito.
– Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add the sofrito and cook for 5 minutes until fragrant.
– Add the paprika and season with salt.
– Stir in the rice and add the seafood stock and water.
– Spread the rice evenly on the base of the pan, bring the stock to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
– Leave to cook undisturbed for 15 minutes. Once the liquid is absorbed, arrange the mussels on top of the rice and partially cover for 5 minutes, allowing them to cook and heat up.
– While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining oil in a separate pan and gently sear the scallops for 2 – 3 minutes on both sides. Remove from the pan and arrange on top of the cooked paella.
– Remove the paella from the heat and cover with foil or a lid, allowing it to rest for 5 – 10 minutes before serving.
– Garnish with the remaining fresh coriander and diced tomatoes and serve with lemon wedges.
