California Farm Saffron Clam Chowder

Our fishmonger has chopped clams this week. Time for our annual clam chowder feast, and freezing some more pounds to make summer chowders. I posted family recipes for mild winter clam chowder and spicy summer clam chowder last year. This easy chowder recipe is more festive, with saffron and rice instead of potatoes. A special clam dinner feast under an hour. It is one of my favorites.
