Risotto
3 tablespoons, olive oil
1/2 stick, sweet butter
1 large white onion, chopped
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons, fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon, dry thyme
1/4 cup, dry Italian mushrooms, chopped
1 small (about 12 ounce) can, tomato sauce
1 cup, dry sherry
2 cups, raw rice, medium-grain Hinode brand
3 dozen clams, in shells
Salt, pepper to taste
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese
Broth
1 pound of fish bones (saved, frozen, from fish dinners)
1 pound, shark meat, cut into 1" squares
1 large white onion, quartered
2 celery stalks, including leaves
2 large carrots, cut into 3 or 4 pieces
1/2 cup, parsley
2 cups, dry white wine
4 quarts, cold water
2 tablespoons, black pepper corns
1 tablespoon, salt
  • 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.
