INGREDIENTS

Made with

Basil Tomatoes

Ripened on the vine under the Hawke's Bay sun, Wattie's Tomatoes with Basil are blended with a delicious tomato purée.

Method

Step 1

Heat the stock until near boiling. Set aside. Heat a dash of oil in a large lidded frying pan. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Add onion and cook until it begins to soften. Return bacon to the pan. Stir in smoked paprika and rice.

Step 3

Pour over hot stock. Stir. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring half way through cooking.

Step 4

Stir in Wattie's Tomatoes with Basil and Wattie's frozen Baby Peas. Add seafood. Cover and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking another 5 minutes or until mussels have opened and seafood is cooked, and sauce is absorbed into the rice.

Step 5

Stand for 5 minutes before serving (discard any mussels that have not opened). Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
