Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Halve the fresh tomatoes. Thinly slice the pepper. Roughly chop the parsley.
Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper. Cook for 4 mins, until softening. Add the garlic, fresh tomatoes, paella spice, sundried tomato paste and brown crab meat. Cook for 3 mins, then add the stock and 200ml hot water (100ml for 1 person). Simmer for 4-6 mins, until the sauce thickens.
Rinse the spinach. In the final minute of cooking, add the spinach, cooked rice and half the parsley and juice from half the lemon to the pan. Season with sea salt to taste. Add a splash of hot water to loosen, if necessary.
Serve the paella in bowls and top with the white crab meat. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Garnish with the remaining lemon as wedges.
