Season lobster, scallops, shrimp and sea bass with salt and pepper. Warm sauté pan over medium heat; add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the seafood. Cook until seafood begins to color, then add mussels, garlic and thyme. Sauté a few minutes, then add 2 ounces of white wine and continue cooking over medium heat until liquid is reduced by half. Add the stock and 2 ounces butter and reduce heat to simmer for a few minutes. Set aside.

In another pan, over low heat, add 1 teaspoon butter, artichoke hearts, rapini, salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until rapini is wilted. Set aside.

In a third pan, heat 1 ounce olive oil; add tomatoes, saffron and 1 ounce wine. Cook until tomatoes are soft.

Place 3 mussels on top of each dish, drizzle with white truffle oil, sprinkle with parsley and moisten the dish with a small amount of the fish broth. Serve immediately.
