can chopped tomatoes

chicken stock

smoked paprika

saffron

onion

garlic

olive oil

paella rice

skinless, boneless chicken thighs,

chorizo

frozen peas

raw king prawns, peeled if you like

mussels

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Combine the tomatoes, stock, paprika and saffron in a large heatproof jug, then <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/best-microwaves-test">microwave</a> for 5 mins on high, or until steaming hot. Or, heat in a pan on the hob.

Put the onion and garlic in a large ovenproof frying pan or <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/test-five-best-roasting-tins">roasting tin</a>, drizzle over the olive oil and stir to coat. Roast for 20 mins, or until the veg is starting to brown.

Stir in the rice, chicken, chorizo and hot stock mix. Season and bake for 20 mins (don&rsquo;t cover the pan).

Gently stir in the peas, dot over the prawns and press the mussels in, hinged-side down, so they&rsquo;re standing up. Arrange the lemon wedges around the edge, if using. Bake for 5-10 mins more until&nbsp;the rice, chicken and prawns are cooked, and the mussels have opened (discard any that stay shut). Check for seasoning, and serve.

A very stylish way of cooking and presenting king prawns

King prawns in saffron almond sauce

prawns

vegetable oil

cashews

blanched almond

ghee

bay leaf

green cardamom pods, crushed

ginger

green chilli

turmeric

150-300 milliliters/¼-½ pt fish stock

golden caster sugar

tbsp single cream

garam masala

½ tsp ground white pepper

tbsp Greek yogurt

green cardamom pods

cumin seeds

Make the sauce. Tip the cashews and almonds into a saucepan and just cover with cold water. Boil gently for 20 minutes until slightly softened. Tip the nuts and water into a food processor and blend.

Heat the ghee or butter in a heavy saucepan, add the bay leaf, cardamoms and onion and fry for 8-10 minutes until golden. Add the ginger and chilli and fry for a minute until fragrant. Add the turmeric and fry until the onion turns yellow, which should take another minute. Now stir in the nut purée and cook the paste carefully, stirring regularly until yellow. Pour in 150ml of the fish stock and simmer for 2-3 minutes. As the sauce turns glossy, add the infused saffron, sugar and cream, sprinkle in the garam masala and season with salt. Simmer for a few more minutes. The sauce should be too thick to pour, but thin enough to spoon, so you may need to dilute it with more fish stock. (The sauce can be made up to an hour ahead.)

Tip the prawns into a bowl, and mix in a sprinkling of salt and all the ingredients for the first marinade. If this looks dry, add a drop of water. Set aside for 10 minutes. Heat the oil in a large pan and sear the prawns for 20 seconds so they curl up. Remove and set aside to cool.

Mix ingredients together for the second marinade, toss prawns in it (they can be left for up to 1 hour).

Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Pierce a long wooden skewer through the tail of each prawn and thread it through to the tip of the head. Prop the skewers on a roasting tray and roast for 6-8 minutes until lightly charred. Meanwhile, reheat the sauce and add more stock if it is too thick. Serve the prawns on a large plate in a pool of sauce for people to help themselves, with the extra sauce and pilau rice in bowls.

James Martin's Asian soup combines a fragrant broth with fish, seafood and light noodles, topped with strong herbs

spring onions

Put the coriander seeds and galangal or ginger in a saucepan. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 5 mins. Leave to stand for 10 mins.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions. Drain and keep warm. Return stock to the boil. Add the fish sauce, chillies and garlic, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 mins.
