Close Credit: Marcus Nilsson Prep Time: 45 mins Total Time: 1 hr Servings: 8 Easy and delicious as well as a real stunner, this winner dinner comes together in less than an hour. It's a paella-like pasta dish that cooks on the stovetop, then your choice of seafood is added and the dish goes under the broiler until it's cooked through. Directions Preheat broiler with rack 8 inches from heat source. Heat oil in a large ovenproof braiser or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, and fennel; saute, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in vermouth and saffron and cook 1 minute more. Add orzo, clam juice, and broth; bring to a simmer. Stir in mussels and simmer, stirring frequently, until almost all liquid is absorbed and orzo is al dente, about 9 minutes. Season shrimp and squid with salt and add to braiser with cockles, scattering throughout and nestling into orzo mixture. Broil 5 minutes. Season fish with salt and tuck into mixture. Broil until seafood is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Let stand 5 minutes, top with parsley, and serve.
