SPICY CLAM DIP



Spicy Clam Dip image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 (6.5-ounce) cans whole clams (1 cup), coarsely chopped (save the clam juice)
1/2 cup packaged, low-moisture grated mozzarella
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
1 jalapeño, seeded (if desired) and finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional) or clam juice, plus more to taste
Salt, if needed, and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Potato chips, for serving

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.

Categories     Fish

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, with juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup butter
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 dash hot pepper sauce
crushed red pepper to taste
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, slowly cook and stir the clams and lemon juice approximately 15 minutes In a separate medium saucepan over medium low heat, mix butter, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, parsley, hot pepper sauce and crushed red pepper. Slowly cook and stir until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer the clam mixture and the butter mixture to an 8x8 inch baking dish. Mix in the seasoned bread crumbs. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Chop the clams finely. This will help them to blend into the dip better.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is a key ingredient in this dip, so be sure to use a cheese that you like. A sharp cheddar or a Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Don't overcook the dip. The dip should be heated through, but it should not be boiling. If you overcook the dip, the clams will become tough.
  • Serve the dip immediately. Hot clam dip is best served immediately, while it is still hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Hot clam dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh clams, cheese, and a few other simple ingredients. The dip is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
