1

Rinse the rice, then add it to a pot with enough water and boil over medium heat until cooked. Drain and set aside.
2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, then sauté the onion, followed by the garlic, diced red bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, green peas, and coriander. Stir-fry for a few minutes, then pour in a glug of white wine (if using), add the stock cube, spices, and a squeeze of lemon. Simmer for 10 minutes over low heat, then taste before adding salt.

Add the prawns and stir briskly until they turn pink (if using raw prawns). Add the mussels and the boiled rice. Mix everything, then fluff the rice with a fork over low heat for a few minutes. Serve with lemon slices on the side.
