Sea Food Risotto


                                                                Sea food risotto
Ingredients:
2 cups of chicken stock
1/4 tea spoon saffron threads

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup of chopped shallots
1 cup arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 glass dry white wine
1 cup of bottled clam juice
20 mussels, scrubbed, debearded
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
12 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left intact
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup of green onions, sliced
Lemon wedges

How to cook: 

Bring stock and saffron to simmer in medium saucepan. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
Heat olive oil in a pan. Add shallots; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add rice and garlic; stir 1 minute. Add white wine and stir until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup saffron stock and simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently. Add remaining stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing stock to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until rice is cooked halfway, about 10 minutes. Add clam juice, mussels, littleneck clams, shrimp and chopped tomatoes. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, mussels and clams open, shrimp are cooked through and liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes (discard any mussels and clams that do not open). Divide seafood and saffron risotto equally among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with sliced green onions. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve, passing Green Olive Relish separately
