    Categories: Seafood, Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Rice
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1/4 ts Saffron strands
    500 g (18 oz) baby clams; scrubbed
    250 g (9 oz) mussels; scrubbed
    900 ml (3 3/4 c) hot chicken stock
    3 tb ( to 4 tb) olive oil
    250 g (9 oz) spicy chorizo; thick
    - sliced in coins
    4 sl Pork belly; in 3-cm (1 1/4")
    - thick pieces
    250 g (9 oz) raw large prawns or
    - jumbo shrimp, peeled,
    - deveined, heads removed
    2 lg Garlic cloves; crushed
    2 Ripe tomatoes; fine chopped

    350 g (scant 2 c) bobma, Calasparra
    : - or arborio rice
    : sea salt & fresh ground
    : - pepper

    Heat the saffron strands in a small dry frying
    pan/skillet, until lightly toasted. Set aside. Discard
    any of the cleaned clams or mussels that do not close
    when tapped on the work surface. Transfer them to a
    large sauce pan/pot and add a splash of water. Cook,
    covered, over high heat for 3-4 minutes, until the
    shells have opened (discarding any that remain closed).
    Set the clams and mussels to one side.

    Heat half of the oil in a 30-cm (12") paella pan (or
    shallow flameproof casserole dish) and fry the chorizo
    over a medium heat, until golden and the fat is
    released. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
    Repeat with the pork belly and fry for 2-3 minutes, then
    remove and set aside. Sear the prawns/shrimp for 1
    minute on each side, until golden, adding more oil as
    necessary. Remove and set aside.

    Lower the heat and gently fry the garlic in the pan for
    5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and and cook over a
    medium heat for 5 minutes, until the sauce is quite dry.
    Return the pork pieces to the pan with the stock, bring
    to the boil and then stir in the rice and a little salt
    and pepper. Simmer gently for 15 minutes. Stir in the
    prawns/shrimp, clams and mussels, and simmer for a
    further 10 minutes, until the rice is al dente and the
    prawns/shrimp are cooked. Remove the pan from the heat
    but leave to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
