DAD'S CLAM DIP

Steps:
- Dump room temperature cream/neufchatel cheese into bowl.
- Open can of clams, pour juice into glass.
- Dump clams into cream/neufchatel cheese.
- Add worcestershire sauce, onion, and garlic to taste (something close to the proportions above).
- Add about half of the clam juice, or a little more until you can stir the dip into a consistency that scoops well onto a chip in a way that doesn't break the chip, but doesn't turn into a liquid that won't stay on the chip.
- Put dip into refrigerator (especially if you got it too watery). You can store overnight-I usually make it the night before to let the flavors mix and let the dip set.
- Serve with potato chips!
CLAM DIP
Here now a taste of New England game days circa the time when televisions had dials instead of remotes and, if you couldn't get fresh clams to steam and chop, a can or two from the supermarket would do just fine. (That's still true!) The recipe comes from Brendan McCarthy, a saltwater fishing guide whose charters range from Brooklyn to Montauk, and south to Florida, the Bahamas and the azure waters off Panama, but whose tastes and kitchen skills were first developed in New England and see an apogee in the simplicity of this recipe. The dip benefits from some curing time in the refrigerator and, for some, a heavy hand on the cayenne.

SPICY CLAM DIP
In this chile-flecked take on a classic 1950s clam dip, the cream cheese-based mixture is spooned into a gratin dish, sprinkled with Parmesan and baked until the topping melts and the dip turns molten and savory. Canned clams are traditional here, providing a gentle saline note and nubby texture without an assertive flavor. If you're starting with cream cheese straight from the fridge, soften it briefly in the microwave before adding it to the bowl; cold cream cheese is a lot harder to mix.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, using a fork or rubber spatula, stir and mash together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
- Add clams, mozzarella, parsley, scallions, jalapeño, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, fish sauce or a teaspoon of reserved clam juice, and lots of black pepper, and stir until well combined. If the mixture seems thick, stir in a little more reserved clam juice.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If you think it needs salt, add it lightly, or try adding a little more fish sauce or more clam juice instead. Dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
- Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.

- Chop the clams finely. This will help to distribute the clam flavor throughout the dip.
- Sauté the clams in butter before adding them to the dip. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in clam dip, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the dip. Parmesan cheese will add a nice nutty flavor to the dip.
- Serve the dip with crackers, chips, or vegetables. Clam dip is a great appetizer or snack to serve at parties or gatherings.

Clam dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or gatherings, and it can be served with crackers, chips, or vegetables. With its creamy texture and flavorful clam taste, clam dip is sure to be a hit with your guests.
