Baked Seafood Rice Recipe

Ingredients: Serves 4

450g total: cooked clam meat, shelled shrimps

  and fish fillets

450g total: carrots, broccoli, spinach

5 tablespoons butter or cooking oil

8 pieces big onions

6 tablespoons flour

5 cups liquid reserved from cooking clams

1 tablespoon cooking wine

1½ teaspoon salt

a pinch of sugar

a pinch of pepper

½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese or coconut

  (white part of flesh only)

4 cups cooked rice

 

Method:

Slice carrots and cut broccoli into pieces; cut spinach into 1½" pieces.  Blanch spinach in boiling water, rinse in cold water immediately, lightly squeeze out the water and set aside in a colander.  Scrub and wash clams.  Immerse clams in boiling water, cook until clams open and immediately remove from boiling water.  Strain liquid through a sieve to remove any sand and reserve 5 cups for use later.  Remove meat from shells and set aside.  Seafood can easily overcook, they should be removed as soon as they are done.  Heat butter, stir-fry onions, add flour and continue to stir-fry.  Add in carrots, broccoli and spinach. Stir a while and add liquid from cooking clams, wine, salt, sugar and pepper to taste.  Stir mixture and boil to thicken.  Add the seafood, bring to a boil to make seafood sauce.  If a creamy taste is preferred, mix in evaporated milk or whipping cream to the seafood sauce before baking.  Preheat oven to 230°C.  Divide rice into four ramekins; pour seafood mixture on the rice.  Sprinkle mozzarella on top and bake for 20 minutes or until surface turns golden brown.
