Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Rice 100g
  • Mixed Grains 30g
  • Onion 100g
  • Bell Pepper 1/4 each
  • Clams 200g

Seasonings

  • White Wine 100cc
  • Broth (to taste)
  • Olive Oil (to taste)
  • Butter (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)

Steps

  1. Finely chop the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces for the risotto.
  2. Place 200g clams and 100cc water in a pot, cover, and heat until the clams open.
  3. Once the clams have opened, separate the liquid and the clam meat, removing the meat from the shells.
  4. In a separate pot (or rice cooker), add 100g rice and 30g mixed grains, then add an equal amount of water as the grains and let it soak.
  5. Mix lightly.
  6. Cover and cook over medium heat (or use the rice cooker's cook setting).
  7. Once boiling, reduce to low heat and cook for 10 minutes.
  8. Finally, increase heat to high for a moment, then turn off the heat and let it steam for 30 minutes.
  9. In another pot, add olive oil (to taste) and sauté 100g chopped onion until sweet.
  10. Add 100g rice and the chopped bell pepper (1/4 each), and lightly sauté until the rice is coated with oil.
  11. Add 100cc white wine and cook off the alcohol.
  12. Add warmed broth (to taste) and the cooked 30g mixed grains.
  13. Add warmed clam liquid (broth from opening clams in water) (to taste), and bring to a boil while stirring, cooking the risotto.
  14. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, ensuring the rice is cooked through but still firm, not mushy.
  15. As the liquid is absorbed, continue cooking while stirring, adding more broth (to taste) as needed.
  16. Once the risotto is cooked to a firm consistency, adjust the liquid level with more broth (to taste) so that there is a slight amount of liquid remaining.
  17. Add the shelled clam meat, and mix with butter (to taste) and olive oil (to taste) (mantecare).
  18. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt (to taste) if necessary. [Secret Tip!] The clam liquid contains salt, so check the seasoning at the end before adding more salt.
