About

This is a feast. Shellfish give off their own special juices, so you need less water and wind up with more intense flavors. Make sure the clams and mussels are well washed; scrub their shells with a brush. Again, there is a lot of chopping here, so allow some time for it; but again, the cooking itself is fast and easy.

Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped into ¼-inch dice
2 leeks

Method

Put the olive oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. A minute later, add all the vegetables except the beans and tomatoes, along with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
Add 2 cups water and stir. Bring to a boil and adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers, but not too rapidly.
