CLAM DIP

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh clams: Use littleneck clams or Manila clams for the best flavor and texture.
  • Clean the clams thoroughly: Scrub the clams under cold water to remove any grit or sand. Soak them in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to help them expel any remaining sand.
  • Mince the clams finely: This will help the clam flavor to distribute evenly throughout the dip.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: This is the base of the dip, so make sure it's smooth and creamy.
  • Shred the cheese finely: This will help it melt evenly into the dip.
  • Don't overcook the dip: Heat it just until it's melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the dip warm: This is the best way to enjoy its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Clam Picante Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that's perfect for any party or gathering. It's made with fresh clams, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and a variety of spices. The dip is baked until it's melted and bubbly, then served warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and hint of spice, Clam Picante Dip is sure to be a hit with your guests.
