Time 25m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 to 12 pounds (about 100) littleneck or Manila clams, scrubbed
4 shallots, thinly sliced
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups white wine
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Divide the shallots, garlic and parsley among the packets. Drizzle each with about 3 tablespoons wine and top with 2 tablespoons butter; season with salt and pepper. Gather the edges of the foil at the top and crimp to seal.

WHITE WINE AND GARLIC STEAMED CLAMS

My boyfriend and I went to a restaurant in Newport, RI and got this dish so many times they finally gave us the recipe...we never went back because we make it so much at home! Easy and delicious...just have extra bread on hand for dipping!

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

36 littleneck clams (I make about 3 dozen for 2 people)
6 -8 minced fresh garlic cloves
2 teaspoons thyme
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
white wine
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in large pan (use enough to lightly coats bottom -- about 3 TBSP).
  • Saute garlic until a little soft (DO NOT let it brown).
  • Place clams in pan on top of oil & garlic (try to place in single layer, but can be double on top of each other).
  • Add enough white wine to barely cover/meet the middle of the clams.
  • Add crushed red pepper and thyme (you can change the amounts to your liking -- I usually make it pretty spicy).
  • Cover with a tight lid and steam until all clams have opened (I use a clear glass top so I can watch them and not have to take the lid off, but you don't have to).
  • Poor into large bowl and serve.
  • Enjoy with some crusty bread for dipping in the sauce.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Serves 12 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/2 cup minced tomato
1/2 cup white wine
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Grilled bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
  • Place a large heatproof pan on grill near, but not over, the hottest side of the grill. Add butter and garlic and cook until butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and white wine.
  • Place clams directly over fire on grill and cook until opened, transferring clams to pan as they open. Season clams with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with grilled bread.

Tips for Cooking Clams with Garlic and White Wine:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality clams. Look for clams that are tightly closed with no visible cracks or damage.
  • Scrub the clams thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt or grit from the shells.
  • Soak the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them to purge any sand or grit from their shells.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven for cooking the clams. This will give them plenty of room to open up.
  • Add plenty of garlic and white wine to the pot. This will create a flavorful broth that will infuse the clams with flavor.
  • Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
  • Serve the clams with crusty bread or pasta. The broth can also be spooned over the clams.

Conclusion:

Clams with garlic and white wine is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your clams are cooked perfectly and that you have a flavorful and satisfying dish.
