Cover and place on high heat until clams pop, add garlic, remaining seafood and vegetables. Deglaze with white wine. Add rice and paella base, bring to a boil and place in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes to cook and reduce.

Arborio rice:

To make arborio rice: Heat butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. When light brown and foamy add onions and saute until translucent. Add rice, bay leaf and lemon and cook, continuously stirring for 5 minutes to color. Add salt and white wine, bring to a boil and continue stirring. Gradually add water, 1 cup at a time while stirring, until rice yields a creamy porridge yet very "al dente" consistency.

Paella Base:

To make paella base: Heat oil in a stock pot, when just smoking, add garlic and ginger. Toast lightly, add onions and cook for 15 minutes until translucent. Add saffron and paprika and cook 5 minutes more, add wine, tomatoes and juice, salt, roasted peppers and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 30 minutes, season and reserve.
