SPICY CLAM DIP



Spicy Clam Dip image

In this chile-flecked take on a classic 1950s clam dip, the cream cheese-based mixture is spooned into a gratin dish, sprinkled with Parmesan and baked until the topping melts and the dip turns molten and savory. Canned clams are traditional here, providing a gentle saline note and nubby texture without an assertive flavor. If you're starting with cream cheese straight from the fridge, soften it briefly in the microwave before adding it to the bowl; cold cream cheese is a lot harder to mix.

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 (6.5-ounce) cans whole clams (1 cup), coarsely chopped (save the clam juice)
1/2 cup packaged, low-moisture grated mozzarella
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
1 jalapeño, seeded (if desired) and finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional) or clam juice, plus more to taste
Salt, if needed, and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, using a fork or rubber spatula, stir and mash together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  • Add clams, mozzarella, parsley, scallions, jalapeño, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, fish sauce or a teaspoon of reserved clam juice, and lots of black pepper, and stir until well combined. If the mixture seems thick, stir in a little more reserved clam juice.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If you think it needs salt, add it lightly, or try adding a little more fish sauce or more clam juice instead. Dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.

CLAM DIP



Clam Dip image

Here now a taste of New England game days circa the time when televisions had dials instead of remotes and, if you couldn't get fresh clams to steam and chop, a can or two from the supermarket would do just fine. (That's still true!) The recipe comes from Brendan McCarthy, a saltwater fishing guide whose charters range from Brooklyn to Montauk, and south to Florida, the Bahamas and the azure waters off Panama, but whose tastes and kitchen skills were first developed in New England and see an apogee in the simplicity of this recipe. The dip benefits from some curing time in the refrigerator and, for some, a heavy hand on the cayenne.
