Tomato Seafood Risotto with Mussels and Clams

Recipe of the day · From the Sea

Tomato Seafood Risotto with Mussels and Clams

Creamy arborio simmered in a saffron-tinted tomato and shellfish stock becomes the base for a generous crown of mussels, clams, shrimp and tender squid rings. Sweet roasted cherry tomatoes and parsley finish a dish that tastes like the Amalfi coast.

Use the strained liquid from steaming the mussels and clams as part of your stock. It carries more sea flavor than any bottled broth.
