Ingredients

350g dry short-grain (700g cooked) White Rice — Short-grain, spread thin and left alone. It has to sit still to form the crust.
250g, shell on Prawns — Laid on top for the last five minutes. Longer and they seize.
300g, cleaned Mussels — They steam open in the pan and season the rice with their own liquor. Discard any that stay shut.
1 large, in strips (150g) Bell Peppers — Sweetness and vitamin C.
a good pinch Saffron — Colour and aroma. Steep it in a little warm stock first or it never really releases.
2/3 cup, frozen (100g) Green Peas — Scattered over near the end for colour and a little sweetness.
