directions
- 1. Combine all Rouille ingredients, except bread, and refridgerate.
- 2. Add beer, tomato sauce, chili paste, black pepper, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika to a stock pot and bring to a boil.
- 3. Reduce to a simmer, add Clams, and cover. After 10-15 minutes, clams should begin to pop open.
- 4. Strain out the clams, reserving all liquid, and put them aside. Should yield roughly 1-1/2 to 2 cups.
- 5. Heat butter in frying pan.
- 6. Cook garlic and shallot in butter until translucent.
- 7. Add dry rice, stirring constantly to coat in butter and toast, for about 3 minutes.
- 8. Add 1/2 cup of reserved liquid, stirring continuously until completely absorbed.
- 9. Continue this process with the rest of the liquid, 1/2 cup at a time. Should take about 25 minutes, but use your taste as a guide.
- 10. Add mozzarella and clams (now removed from the shell) for the last 5 minutes of the process.
- 11. Scoop onto a place and serve with Rouille spread on toasted sourdough.
