WILD RICE CLAM CHOWDER

 

 

Recipe courtesy of:   California Wild Rice Advisory Board

Makes 6 Servings.

 

1/2

Cup California Wild Rice

2

7-ounce cans minced clams, juice reserved (about 1 1/2 cups)

11/2

Cup salted boiling water

1

Cup half-and-half

2 Tablespoons butter 1

Cup hole milk

1

Onion chopped

1/4 Cup white wine
2

Stalks celery, chopped

1 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3

Tablespoons flour

  Dash Tabasco
21/2 Cup chicken stock    

 

 

Rinse wild rice in a colander under cool running water until water runs clear.   In a small saucepan, add the wild rice to the boiling water, return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, to partially cook rice.   Drain wild rice and set aside.

      Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat.   Add the onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.   Sprinkle with flour, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.   Gradually add stock and stir while bringing mixture to a boil.   Add wild rice and clam juice and simmer 10 minutes.   Add half-and-half, milk and wine and simmer 10 minutes more.   Stir in Clams, Worcestershire and Tabasco and heat through.

      Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately.
