MUSSELS AND CLAMS WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Mussels and Clams with Spicy Tomato Broth image

A spicy, brothy bowl of mussels and clams is at home in any season. Serve it with thick slices of crusty baguette, toasted and rubbed with raw garlic, for a sensational, simple meal any day of the week. This broth gets its heat from both fresh red peppers like Fresno or serrano chiles, and a dose of pinched red pepper flakes. You control the heat by what kind of pepper you choose - Fresno for subtle heat or serrano for a spicier edge. The wine, however, is not optional. Pinot grigio, both for cooking and drinking, is this broth's best bet.

Steamed Clams in Spicy Tomato Sauce image

Include mollusks in your seafood week. Clams are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, low in calories, and very high in iron.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4-1/2 pounds clams, such as littlenecks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1 small onion or 2 shallots, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 1 dried chile de arbol, broken in half
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 strip of orange zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch of saffron (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
A drizzle of olive oil or squeeze of lemon juice for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the clams in several changes of water and scrub with a small brush, such as a toothbrush. Discard any that are open or that have cracked shells.
  • Place the wine in a large, lidded pan that will accommodate all of the clams (a wok with a lid works well). Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add the clams, cover and cook over high heat, shaking the pan from time to time, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the clams open. Remove from the heat. Discard any clams that have not opened.
  • Set a strainer over a bowl, line with cheesecloth and drain the clams. Set the liquid and the clams aside in separate bowls. You can keep the clams in the shell or remove them, whichever is most convenient for serving (it's prettiest with the clams in the shell).
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, wide, lidded skillet or casserole and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes, and add the garlic and red pepper flakes or chile de arbol. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute, and add the tomatoes and juice, the sugar, orange zest, thyme, saffron, and the liquid from the clams. Add salt and pepper to taste, bring to a simmer over medium heat, reduce the heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture has cooked down and is very fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Stir the clams into the tomato sauce and heat through, stirring. Add the parsley or cilantro, stir again, and serve in wide soup bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice over each serving if you wish

CLAMS AND SPAGHETTI WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Clams and Spaghetti With Spicy Tomato Broth image

Many Italian recipes call for simmering fish and shellfish in "acqua pazza," or crazy water. It's a quick way to make a small amount of tasty broth, and obviously more flavorful than cooking fish in plain water would be. Every cook makes it differently, but most recipes involve olive oil, tomato and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Garlic, parsley, capers, lemon and even smashed anchovy could also be part of the mixture. The end result is the perfect year-round medium for cooking fish fillets or shrimp or to serve as the base for a brothy bowlful of clams and spaghetti. It takes only a few minutes, and the cooking liquid, conveniently, is also the sauce. Basil leaves and fresh cherry tomatoes, halved and drizzled with olive oil and salt, give the dish a summery feel.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped green garlic shoots or 2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 bay leaf
2 or 3 medium hot fresh red peppers, such as Dutch or Fresno, cut into 1/4-inch slices, or 1/2 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
1 large thyme sprig
Salt and pepper
2 cups crushed tomatoes (canned is fine)
1 cup dry white wine
4 or 5 pounds small clams, such as manila or cherrystones
1 pound spaghetti
2 cups red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
Handful of basil leaves

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water on a back burner over medium-high heat, covered, so it is ready and boiling when it's time to cook the pasta.
  • Put a wide Dutch oven or deep heavy-bottomed skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add onion, and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until softened and lightly colored.
  • Stir in chopped green garlic, bay leaf, hot pepper and thyme sprig. Stir to coat and let sizzle. Season mixture generously with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and wine, and bring mixture to a brisk simmer, stirring. Simmer 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin with water if necessary: You don't want it to be too thick.
  • Salt the pasta water and cook the spaghetti at a rapid boil until al dente - usually a minute or 2 less than instructions on package.
  • Add clams to Dutch oven or skillet, turn heat to high and put on the lid. Stir clams with a large spoon a couple of times (to help heat disperse evenly) and replace lid. They should take 5 to 6 minutes to open. Once all clams are open, turn off heat and leave to rest, covered, for a few minutes.
  • Drain pasta and, using tongs, divide among 4 to 6 bowls. Using a large slotted spoon or tongs, top pasta with an equal amount of clams. Ladle all remaining broth in the pot over each serving.
  • Season halved cherry tomatoes with salt and a little olive oil. Spoon seasoned cherry tomatoes over top of the bowls.
  • Sprinkle with chives, parsley and basil leaves. Serve.

MUSSELS, CLAMS AND SHRIMP IN SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Mussels, Clams and Shrimp in Spicy Tomato Broth image

Categories     Bread     Tomato     Clam     Mussel     Shrimp     Simmer     Boil

Yield 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
24 small littleneck clams (about 2 1/2 pounds total), scrubbed
24 mussels (about 1 1/2 pounds total), debearded
20 large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined, and butterflied
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Warm crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

  • In a large, wide pot, heat the oil over a medium flame. Add the garlic, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes, and sauté until the garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes with their juices and simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes begin to break down and the flavors blend, about 8 minutes. Stir in the clams, then cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mussels, then cover and continue cooking until the clams and mussels open, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Using tongs, transfer the opened shellfish to serving bowls (discard any shellfish that do not open). Add the shrimp to the simmering tomato broth, and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the basil. Remove the bay leaf. Divide the shrimp and tomato broth among the bowls, and serve with the warm bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams are essential for this dish. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells.
  • Purge the clams: Purging the clams removes any sand or grit from their shells. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water with 1/4 cup of salt for 30 minutes. Drain the clams and rinse them well before using.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of this dish, so it's important to use a flavorful broth. You can use clam broth, fish broth, or chicken broth. If you're using chicken broth, be sure to add some clam juice or white wine to give it a more seafood flavor.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables add color and flavor to this dish. Good choices include diced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook the clams just until they open, or they will become tough and chewy. You should not eat any clams that do not open after cooking.
  • Make your own garlic mayo: Garlic mayo is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that pairs perfectly with clams. To make garlic mayo, simply combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

Clams with Spicy Tomato Broth and Garlic Mayo is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The spicy tomato broth is packed with flavor, and the garlic mayo adds a creamy and delicious richness. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
