KITCHEN CLAMBAKE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds kielbasa
3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
2 cups chopped leeks, well cleaned (2 leeks, white parts only)
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 pounds small potatoes (red or white)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 dozen steamer clams, scrubbed
2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, in the shell
3 (1 1/2 pound) lobsters
2 cups good dry white wine

Steps:

  • Slice the kielbasa diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Set aside. Saute the onions and leeks in the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed 16 to 20 quart stockpot over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the onions start to brown.
  • Layer the ingredients on top of the onions in the stockpot in this order: first the potatoes, salt, and pepper; then the kielbasa, little neck clams, steamer clams, mussels, shrimp, and lobsters. Pour in the white wine. Cover the pot tightly and cook over medium-high heat until steam just begins to escape from the lid, about 15 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook another 15 minutes. The clambake should be done. Test to be sure the potatoes are tender, the lobsters are cooked, and the clams and mussels are open. Remove the lobsters to a wooden board, cut them up, and crack the claws. With large slotted spoons, remove the seafood, potatoes, and sausages to a large bowl and top with the lobsters. Season the broth in the pot to taste, and ladle over the seafood, being very careful to avoid any sand in the bottom.

ONE POT CLAMBAKE



One Pot Clambake image

I have varied her recipe slightly, but credit for this goes to MS! This casual meal is a regular hit at our house! Vary the amount of seafood to feed any size gathering. Can be made outside in a turkey fryer pot for a really huge crowd!!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 1 Clambake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large onion
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups white wine
2 -3 cups chicken broth (fine to use stock cubes)
12 small red potatoes
2 -3 ears corn on the cob, cut into 1 to 2 inch rings
1 sausage ring, cut into 2 inch pieces (polish kielbasa etc.)
fresh herbs or dried herbs
fresh seafood (use all or any combo of the following, Clams, mussels, small lobster tails,shrimp, scallops, prawn)

Steps:

  • In a very large stock or pasta pot, sauté onions in olive oil until light brown, add garlic and pepper flakes, green pepper and salt, sauté a few minutes longer.
  • Add wine and reduce by half, add stock.
  • Add potatoes and sausage, cook 10 minutes, until almost cooked through; add corn and herbs.
  • Add seafood last, starting with items that take the longest to cook, shrimp should go into the pot last, cover pot tightly with lid after each seafood addition.
  • Serve immediately from the pot, to retain the heat, large pasta dishes work best.
  • Serve with plenty of hearty crusty bread, for mopping up the "soup".

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your clambake will taste. If you can, buy live clams, mussels, and lobsters.
  • Choose the right type of potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or new potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as russet potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you crowd the pot, the seafood and vegetables won't cook evenly.
  • Season the seafood and vegetables well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the seafood and vegetables.
  • Cook the seafood and vegetables until they are just cooked through: Overcooked seafood and vegetables are tough and chewy.
  • Serve the clambake with melted butter and lemon wedges: Melted butter and lemon wedges are the perfect accompaniments to a clambake.

Conclusion:

A clambake is a delicious and easy way to cook seafood and vegetables. It's a great meal for a party or a casual get-together. With a little planning, you can make a clambake that everyone will enjoy.
