NEW ENGLAND CLAM PIE



New England Clam Pie image

If you love creamy New England style clam chowder, you will love this recipe. It works best with my mother's homemade pie crust recipe, but I sometimes use store bought pie shells for convenience. This pie is excellent as a left over, IF there's any left!

Time 1h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 prepared pie crusts
1 1/2 cups clam juice
3 cups diced potatoes
1 diced carrot
1 large onion, diced
2 cups chopped clams
freshly ground salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup light cream or 1/2 cup milk

  • Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Add clams and salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Properly clean the clams: Before cooking, it's essential to clean the clams thoroughly to remove any sand or grit. Rinse them well under cold water, then soak them in a bowl of cold water for 15-20 minutes. This helps them expel any remaining sand or grit.
  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams are key to a delicious clam pie. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked clams become tough and rubbery. Simmer them gently in the sauce for just 5-7 minutes, or until they are opaque and tender.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is a key component of clam pie, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a combination of white wine, clam juice, butter, garlic, and herbs to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is another important ingredient in clam pie. Use a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese for a gooey, flavorful topping.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: Bake the clam pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

Clam pie is a delicious and satisfying dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, tender clams, and flavorful sauce, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting seafood dish, give clam pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
