Provided by 2 sisters recipes

Categories     Seafood Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves- diced
3 dozen littleneck clams
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup of white wine
optional: 1/4 cup of clam juice, or more (I used Bumble Bee all natural)
1/2 cup freshly chopped Italian parsley
1 pound linguine or spaghetti pasta
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, rinse the clams under cold running water and gently rub them together with your hands to allow any sand to rinse off their shells. Rinse and drain a few times. Leave them in cold water until ready to cook them.
  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over low heat and add the garlic. Saute the garlic for only 1 minute to be fragrant (no need to brown the garlic). Toss in about 1/2 of the chopped parsley, and reserve the other half for later.
  • Meanwhile, drain the clams into a colander and quickly transfer them directly to the pot with garlic and olive oil. Add in the crushed red pepper and salt. Cover. Stir the clams after a minute.
  • Allow the clams to steam and simmer with the garlic for about 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and clam juice and cover again, continue to steam the clams, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Their shells will open gradually. Once all clams are fully opened, turn off the heat. No need to overcook them.
  • Toss in the remaining chopped parsley. If serving alone, transfer clams along with broth to a large serving bowl and serve.
  • Also, if you are planning to serve clams with spaghetti or linguine, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add some salt (about 1 tsp.) and toss in the pasta. Cook the pasta to al-dente. Using a ladle spoon, grab some of the salted water (about 1/4 cup) from the pasta, and add it to the clams.
  • Drain pasta, and transfer pasta to the pot with all the clams and broth.
  • Stir and serve into individual serving bowls. Garnish on top with more clams in shells and sprinkle on top with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
  • Serves 4 to 5

Pork Chops and Clams in Garlic Broth image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pork chops (6 to 8 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1 medium onion, halved crosswise and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
2 bay leaves
1 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
24 Manila clams or cockles

Steps:

  • Season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper, and set aside on a plate for 10 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven or a large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, and cook, flipping once, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer pork chops to a plate, and cover with parchment paper and then foil to keep warm.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Stir in tomatoes, onion, garlic, a pinch of salt, the bay leaves, paprika, and red-pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes and onion have softened, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Add wine, and raise heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up browned bits. Stir in stock. Return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, and add clams to pot. Cover, and cook until clams open, 3 to 5 minutes (discard any that have not opened after 5 minutes). Discard bay leaves.
  • Return pork chops to pot. Turn to coat with sauce, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer pork chops and clams to a deep platter, and pour broth over top. Serve immediately.

CLAMS IN GARLIC & WHITE WINE



Clams in Garlic & White Wine image

Delicious morsels to serve as a starter or appetizer. Adapted from Canadian Living mag. http://www.canadianliving.com/food/

Provided by Derf2440

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 slices prosciutto ham, thin slices (or serrano ham)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or butter)
6 garlic cloves, smashed
1/3 cup Italian parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 lbs littleneck clams (or Manila clams or small clams of your choice)

Steps:

  • Cut prosciutto into strips. In a large frypan, heat oil over medium heat; fry prosciutto until crisp, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove to paper towel to drain.
  • To the pan, add garlic, half of the parsley and the hot pepper flakes; fry for 1 minute. Add wine; bring to boil over medium high heat, add clams, cover and steam until clams open, about 5 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
  • Sprinkle with prosciutto and remaining parsley.
  • Ladle clams into small bowls and offer plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams are essential for this dish, as they will have the best flavor and texture. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell.
  • Purge the clams: Purging the clams before cooking helps to remove any sand or grit from the shells. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Drain the water and repeat the process until the water is clear.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in this dish should be a dry white wine with a light body. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would be a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so it is important not to overcook them. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the clams immediately: Clams are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Clams in Garlic Wine Broth is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh clams, garlic, white wine, and herbs creates a flavorful and aromatic broth that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the clams with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious broth.
