|
Combine all broth ingredients in a medium stockpot and bring water to a boil,
then lower flame to a gentle simmer.
With slotted spoon, remove scum from
the surface several times.
Simmer the broth, uncovered, for at least 1
hour.
Strain the broth through a colander, pushing some of the small
pieces through the openings with a ricer or potato masher, then pour broth
again through a sieve.
This can be refrigerated or frozen if not used
immediately.
Be sure to scrub clam shells well to remove all sand.
Sauté onion in oil
and butter over low heat.
Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and
stir frequently.
Add garlic, parsley, thyme, and stir.
Add tomato sauce,
wine and water.
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add rice and mix
together well.
Add more water if necessary to cover rice, and another
dash of salt.
Stir frequently to prevent rice from sticking, and cook
uncovered until rice is almost cooked, about 20 minutes.
Add clams and
stir. Cover again and let steam on low flame until clams have opened.
Serve with grated cheese.
Serves four.
Note: Do not eat a clams that do not open spontaneously when steamed.
Enjoy with our 2005 Sauvignon Blanc.
