2 tbsp olive oil
2 None tomatoes, chopped
1 None red pepper, seeded, sliced
1 None red onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 cup long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp turmeric

12 None shrimp, peeled (tails left intact), deveined
12 None mussels, scrubbed, beards removed
1/2 cup frozen peas

1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Saute the tomato, pepper, onion and garlic for 4-5 mins or until the onion is tender. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 min until coated in oil.
2
Stir in the stock, lemon juice, turmeric and bay leaf, then season to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20-25 mins or until the rice is tender and the liquid is almost absorbed.
3
Stir in the chicken, shrimp, mussels and peas. Cook until the mussels open (discard any unopened mussels, as these should not be eaten) and shrimp is cooked through.
4
Serve the hot paella accompanied with stuffed green olives and crusty bread, if desired.
