Ingredients
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth 4 tablespoons butter 1 medium onion, minced Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 cup Arborio rice 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
A pinch of saffron threads 1 cup frozen peas 2 cups tomato juice 1 pound quartered white mushrooms 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups bottled clam juice 1/2 pound bay scallops 1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine broth with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and keep at a bare simmer.
In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice, and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add 2 cups hot broth; simmer over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until mostly absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, allowing each to be absorbed before adding the next, stirring occasionally, until rice is creamy and just tender, 20 to 25 minutes total (you may not need all the broth).
Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; season with salt and pepper.
