Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c long grain rice
1/2 c long grain rice
2 small onions, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 c whole tomatoes
1 tsp saffron (or tumeric)
1 lb linguiça, with the casing removed
salt and red pepper flakes to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Steam the clams in very little water until they open. Discard any that do not open and set the clams aside. Reserve the cooking liquid, being careful to keep any sand the clams expel at the bottom of the pot. Sauté the rice in the olive oil until golden brown. Add the onion, green pepper, garlic and linguiça. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Break the tomatoes up with the back of a spoon, saving the juice (to use if needed when cooking the rice), and add to the rice mixture. Cook over a low flame until the rice is soft. Add some of the reserved clam juice when necessary. Remove the clams from their shells, keeping 8 to 10 in the shells for garnish. Add the clams and saffron. Mix well and serve with Portuguese bread.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. The clams add a nice briny flavor and the chorizo adds a smoky flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This Portuguese Clams and Rice was just okay. The clams were a bit gritty, and the rice was a bit mushy. I think I may have used the wrong type of rice, so next time I'll be sure to use the correct type. I also think I'll cook the clams for a shorter
