Method
- Put the stock into a saucepan with 2tsp of garlic paste and star anise and heat. Heat the oil in a large paella or risotto pan and cook the onion, gently, for 5-8 minutes until softened then add the remaining garlic, the smoked paprika, cayenne and saffron. Stir in the rice so it becomes well coated in spices.

- Cook for 5 minutes then add the contents of the mussels pack and the frozen peas, stirring gently so not to break up the fish. Cover again with the foil and cook for 3-4 minutes until the seafood is all cooked.
