CHOPPED BAKED CLAMS
While working at a restaurant, I needed a better recipe for baked clams. This is the what I devised. They went over very well. This can also be used as a spread on crackers.

BAKED CLAMS
I haven't tried this yet, but this is VERY similar to a recipe I used on my honeymoon to prepare fresh clams. Now, living in Indiana, I'll have to find some alternative to fresh. :-(

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion until softened but not browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute, stirring, just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add wine, and bring to a simmer. Add clams, and stir to combine. Cover and steam until clams have opened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a rimmed baking sheet to cool, discarding any that do not open. Strain clam broth through a fine sieve, and reserve broth for making stuffing.
- When clams are cool enough to handle, remove all meat, and reserve. Remove half of each clam shell, and discard. Arrange the remaining halves on a rimmed baking sheet. Cut each clam into ½-inch pieces; return pieces to shell. (Clams can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dividing evenly, press Herbed Breadcrumb Stuffing into clam shells, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Bake until tops are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Nestle clams on seaweed, if desired, and serve immediately.
BAKED CLAMS
This recipe for baked clams tried to bridge the gap between the glory of a clam pulled from a clambake and the unfortunate, common mediocrity of ubiquitous baked stuffed clams. It contains some of the usual suspects - onion and celery - and some unusual ones, like clam juice and vermouth. Importantly, it doesn't require clam shucking, which is a dangerous occupation, best avoided unless you are very brave.

Steps:
- Wash the clams very well. Put them, the clam juice, water and vermouth in a big pot with a cover. Cook them over very high heat, bringing them to a boil, until they are just cooked, removing them one by one, or by the few, to a roasting pan or other flat tray, with tongs or a hand-held sieve, the instant they pop open.
- Once they've cooled, remove the clams from the shells. Divide top and bottom shells. Wash as many as you plan to serve, and leave them to dry. Add any liquid left with the clams to the liquid in the clam pot.
- Sauté the cup of garlic, leeks, celery and fennel in 3 tablespoons of butter, adding only the tiniest, barest bit of salt to help the vegetables release their liquid. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until leeks are tender and taste good. Through a fine strainer, add all the liquid in the clam pot. Bring to a boil, and cook down until only about 1 cup of liquid remains. Add the heavy cream. Taste for salt. Add the chopped leaves and chervil and the clams, either whole or roughly chopped.
- Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into 24 small squares. If it seems difficult, use more butter. No precision needed. Fill each half clamshell very full with the clam mixture - with either 1 clam per shell, if left whole, or a spoonful, if chopped. Top each half with a sprinkle of bread crumbs and a tiny square of butter.
- Put in a single layer, in 1 or 2 large roasting or baking pans, under the broiler at its highest setting, quite close to the broiler. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Clams: Fresh clams are the key to delicious clam strips. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell.
- Properly Clean the Clams: Before cooking, soak the clams in cold water for 15-20 minutes to remove any sand or grit. Then, scrub the clams with a brush to remove any remaining dirt.
- Use a Light Batter: A light batter will allow the natural flavor of the clams to shine through. Use a mixture of flour, eggs, milk, and seasonings to create a thin batter.
- Season the Batter: Don't forget to season the batter with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices. This will add flavor to the clam strips.
- Fry the Clam Strips at the Right Temperature: The ideal temperature for frying clam strips is 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the clam strips are cooked through without overcooking.
- Serve Immediately: Clam strips are best served immediately after frying. They can be served with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Baked clam strips are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your family and friends. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your clam strips turn out perfect. Enjoy!
