- 2 onions
- 1 ripe tomato

- Once the onion is cooked, add the grated tomato. Leave to cook for about 30 minutes.
- Add the cuttlefish (chopped) and cook it. Add the rice and stir a little.
- Cover with the fish stock and leave to boil fast for about ten minutes. Add the prawns, the Dublin Bay prawns and the clams. Leave to cook for about 5 minutes.
