Ingredients

200 g long-grain white rice or basmati rice
350 ml bottled clam juice
350 ml water
½ tsp salt, plus salt to taste
150 ml extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
500 g scallops
freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 tbsp white wine vinegar, or fresh lemon juice
⅛ tsp saffron threads
1 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 tbsp tomato paste
350 g cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
lemon wedges

Instructions

If using basmati rice, rinse well and drain.

In a heavy sauce pan, combine the clam juice the water and the 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Slowly add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, without stirring, for 20 minutes; do not remove the cover.

After 20 minutes, uncover and check to see if the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. If not, cover again and cook for a few minutes longer until rice is done. Remove from the heat, fluff the grains with a fork and place in a bowl to cool.

In a frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the scallops and sauté them, turning once until cooked, about 2 minutes on each side. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar or lemon juice, saffron, garlic, tomato paste and the 150 ml olive oil. Add the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of parsley, the scallops, cooled rice, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss together. Place on a serving platter.

Garnish with lemon wedges and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
