Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Step 2
Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
Step 3
Stir in the lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour in the clam sauce and add the cooked clams. Mix well.
Step 4
Add the rice to the pan, stirring well to coat it with the tomato and clam mixture.
Step 5
Pour 2 cups of water into the pan (adjust the amount according to the rice package instructions) and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby onions and diced red pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
In the same pan, add the slivered almonds and toast them for a few minutes until they are lightly golden.
Step 8
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the sautéed baby onions, red pepper, and toasted almonds.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
