INSTRUCTIONS

In a covered pot, steam clams and mussels with white wine until shells
open, about 5 minutes. Strain and reserve broth. Meanwhile, fill a stockpot
with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add salt and orzo and boil for
about 8 minutes. Carefully drain in a colander (the orzo can slip through
colander holes if they are too big). Heat oil in a large skillet or paella
pan over moderate heat. Add onions and saute until soft, about 10 minutes.
Add garlic and saute another 2 minutes to release aromas. Stir in bell
peppers, chiles and tomatoes and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, or until
slightly softened. Stir in shrimp and cook until shrimp turn pink orange,
about 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas, saffron, oregano, coriander and reserved
broth from mussels and clams. Simmer for a few minutes. Stir in orzo and
heat through, adding clam juice or fish stock as needed to make a soupy
texture. Stir in clams and mussels. Adjust seasoning. To serve, spoon hot
paella into serving bowls and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6
servings.
Comments: Clams are found all over the world in the wet sand of freshwater
streams and sea coasts. In Europe, they are cultivated in France and
Portugal, but they are most popular in America. Types of clams:
Soft-shelled (round and long razor clams); and hard shelled. Mussels are
closely related to clams, again found all over the world on sea shores.
Types of mussels: Varieties are usually specific to a certain area, but the
blue mussel is found along the Atlantic coasts of America and Europe. Pasta
means dough. Noodles were first invented in China and then introduced to
Italy by Marco Polo. The average Italian eats 65 pounds of pasta a year
(compared to 8 pounds per person in the United States).
