Ingredients
You need a large paella pan about 45 cm at the base
a head of garlic
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 finely diced brown onions
about 10 sprigs of thyme
1 1/2 red capsicums, diced
1 1/2 green capsicums, diced
salt
5 peeled, diced medium tomatoes, seeds removed
400 g paella rice
1.3 litres fish stock mixed with 1 tbsp tomato paste
400 g cleaned calamari pieces
1/2 kg cubed firm fish, like blue eye
about 1 cup broad beans (or peas)
12 large green prawns
3 tbsp fish stock mixed with 1/2 tbsp toasted saffron
12 mussels
600 g clams
1/2 cup chopped parsley
about 12 lemon wedges
Preparation
Place the paella pan on low heat. Position the head of garlic in the centre of the pan and pour the oil over the garlic, spreading the oil a bit. Add the diced onions and stir briefly. Add the thyme and cook for the about 5 minutes.
Add the red and green capsicum and season with salt. Stir briefly and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the tomato and stir in, then cook for a few minutes more. Add the rice and stir for
2 minutes. Add the fish stock mixed with the tomato paste.
Add the calamari, the fish and the broad beans. Place the prawns neatly on top and add the saffron stock mixture. Top with the mussels and clams and simmer until the shells have opened, the seafood is cooked and the rice is tender.
It's a good idea to cover the paella with foil or a lid for the last 5 minutes of the cooking.
Add plenty of chopped parsley and cover with one or two tea towels. Turn off the heat and rest the rice for 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve with lemon wedges.
Bon appétit!

Hot Tips
Smoking with paperbark (native Aust)
You can use Australian native paperbark in place of baking paper when cooking en papillotte. Simply fold the paperbark around a fillet of fish (including any other herbs and spices) and fold the open ends inwards. Secure with string (as you would tie a birthday present) and cook on the barbecue. Paperbark is not edible.
Glossary
Mustardseed Oil
The oil of the mustard plant, this healthy oil has a pleasant nutty flavour and is traditionally used to make Indian curries, pickles and relishes but can be adapted to suit any dish using raw or cooked oil.
