Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch. This helps the rice become fluffy.
2
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Finely chop the parsley, and slice the lemon.
3
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add the garlic and bell pepper, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
5
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
6
Add the tomato purée and stir. Then pour in the fish stock and water.
7
Sprinkle in the rice, season with salt and pepper, and stir. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
8
When the rice is almost cooked, add the seafood and stir. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the seafood is cooked through.
9
Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for another 5 minutes.
10
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
