GREEK RECIPE: Mussels Pilaf

3 dozen hard-shelled clams
1 lg onion minced
2 cups solid pack tomatoes broken up
6 Tbs olive oil

1.5 cups water
1 bayleaf
1.5 cups rice
salt and pepper to taste

Wash and scrub mussels thoroughly under running water to remove sand. Insert the point of a sharp thin knife into the hinged end of the mussel. Run the blade around until the shell seperates. Remove mussels from their shell with a paring knife and place them in a bowl. Set aside. Heat oil in a pot and sautee onion until golden. Add tomatoes, water, bayleaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add rice and mussels. Mix thoroughly so that rice kernals do not stick together. Reduce to simmer covered 25 minute. Do not stir again or remove cover until ready to serve. Serves 6.
