In a large, deep, flat pan, put the rice and water or stock. Cover

water is absorbed.
In a sauté pan, melt the butter and sauté the diced carrot, celery and
onion until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Remove the rice pan from the oven. Mix in the sautéed vegetable, the
shrimps, clams, fish fillets, chicken, sausages, artichoke hearts, red
pepper strips and garlic. Stir in the lemon juice, saffron and
Madeira and arrange from the mussels around the outsided edge of the
pan.
Sprinkle the surface with the diced tomato and halved black olives,
cover and return to the oven until the mussels open and the rice,
fish and chicken are cooked through. The rice should be dry, not
mushy.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve on large plates
arranging the mussels around the edge of the plates. Garnish with
parsley and lemon wedges.
