CLAMS WITH SHERRY AND OLIVES



Clams With Sherry and Olives image

The complex flavor of this dish-briny, aromatic, slightly spicy-belies the extraordinarily simple method of actually making it.

Provided by Rebekah Peppler

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon piment d'Espelette
Fine sea salt
3 pounds [1.4 kg] small clams, such as littlenecks, scrubbed clean
1 cup [160 g] Castelvetrano olives
1 cup [240 ml] dry white wine
½ cup [120 ml] fino or manzanilla sherry
½ cup [20 g] finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat, add the oil and garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the piment d'Espelette and season with salt; cook for 10 seconds more, then stir in the clams, olives, wine, and sherry. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the clams open, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover, remove and discard any clams that don't open, and add ¼ cup [10 g] of the parsley to the pot. Stir to combine and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup [10 g] of parsley. Serve with crusty bread.

LINGUINE WITH GARLICKY WHITE CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Garlicky White Clam Sauce image

This is a great and tasty recipe I'm sure you will enjoy. Check seasonings to taste. This has a heavy garlic and wine taste. When using a cooking wine do not add salt because there's salt already in the cooking wine. You can try sherry in place of the white wine. Top with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 anchovy fillets
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (10 ounce) cans whole baby clams, drained and juice reserved
⅓ cup white wine

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook anchovies in the skillet until they dissolve into the oil, about 5 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking until it is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Melt butter into the anchovies mixture. When the butter begins to bubble, stir parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the butter mixture; cook to soften the parsley, about 1 minute.
  • Pour wine and about 3/4 of the reserved clam juice into the skillet. Place a cover on the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Bring liquid to a simmer; add clams and continue to cook until the clams are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour clam sauce over linguine to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh clams: Clams should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Purge the clams: This helps to remove any sand or grit from the clams. Place the clams in a large bowl of cold water and add a generous amount of salt. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
  • Use a good quality sherry: A dry sherry will work best in this recipe. Avoid using a sweet or cooking sherry, as it will overpower the other flavors in the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the clams, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear on them.
  • Cook the clams until they open: The clams are cooked when they open. Don't overcook them, or they will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: Clams are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as an appetizer or main course.

Conclusion:

Clams in sherry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The briny flavor of the clams pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy sherry sauce, and the whole dish can be made in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is sure to impress, give this recipe a try.
