My clams are requested all the time. They are the perfect appetizer for any occasion and so easy to make. Definitely guaranteed to rival anything you get in a restaurant! Great to freeze and have as a quick snack anytime. (Note: if you don't have clam shells, form tin foil into clam shaped cups, and proceed as directed.)

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 Clean Clam Shells
2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained with juice reserved
1 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained
4 cups fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup minced sweet onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
lemon pepper to taste
paprika to taste
2 lemons, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in clams, crab meat, parsley, lemon pepper, and bread crumbs. Reduce heat to low, and slowly pour in clam juice until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet. The bread crumbs will continue to absorb moisture, so be careful not to add too much clam juice.
  • Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. (Stuffed shells may be covered and frozen at this point for later use.)
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling. If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges.

BAKED CLAMS



Baked Clams image

This recipe for baked clams tried to bridge the gap between the glory of a clam pulled from a clambake and the unfortunate, common mediocrity of ubiquitous baked stuffed clams. It contains some of the usual suspects - onion and celery - and some unusual ones, like clam juice and vermouth. Importantly, it doesn't require clam shucking, which is a dangerous occupation, best avoided unless you are very brave.

Provided by Tamar Adler

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings (or 2 if you love clams)

Number Of Ingredients 11

24-30 littleneck or cherrystone clams*
3 tablespoons clam juice
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
1 cup combined (any combination) sliced green or plain white garlic, finely sliced leek, chopped celery, fennel or fennel top
3 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, separated
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped celery leaf
1 tablespoon chopped fennel frond
1 tablespoon chopped chervil (if available; if not, use more celery leaves or fennel fronds)
3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Wash the clams very well. Put them, the clam juice, water and vermouth in a big pot with a cover. Cook them over very high heat, bringing them to a boil, until they are just cooked, removing them one by one, or by the few, to a roasting pan or other flat tray, with tongs or a hand-held sieve, the instant they pop open.
  • Once they've cooled, remove the clams from the shells. Divide top and bottom shells. Wash as many as you plan to serve, and leave them to dry. Add any liquid left with the clams to the liquid in the clam pot.
  • Sauté the cup of garlic, leeks, celery and fennel in 3 tablespoons of butter, adding only the tiniest, barest bit of salt to help the vegetables release their liquid. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until leeks are tender and taste good. Through a fine strainer, add all the liquid in the clam pot. Bring to a boil, and cook down until only about 1 cup of liquid remains. Add the heavy cream. Taste for salt. Add the chopped leaves and chervil and the clams, either whole or roughly chopped.
  • Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into 24 small squares. If it seems difficult, use more butter. No precision needed. Fill each half clamshell very full with the clam mixture - with either 1 clam per shell, if left whole, or a spoonful, if chopped. Top each half with a sprinkle of bread crumbs and a tiny square of butter.
  • Put in a single layer, in 1 or 2 large roasting or baking pans, under the broiler at its highest setting, quite close to the broiler. Serve hot.

NEW ENGLAND CLAM PIE

If you love creamy New England style clam chowder, you will love this recipe. It works best with my mother's homemade pie crust recipe, but I sometimes use store bought pie shells for convenience. This pie is excellent as a left over, IF there's any left!

This is such a simple recipe. Add chopped bits of crispy bacon on top if you want.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h

Yield 40 clams

Number Of Ingredients 12

40 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 stick plus 3 tablespoons (11 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
4 large cloves garlic, finely minced
2 scallions, minced
Zest and juice from 1 medium lemon, plus wedges for serving
Kosher salt
Freshly ground white pepper
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, toasted
1/4 cup fine breadcrumbs, toasted
1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cook the clams: Heat a large skillet over high heat. Rinse the clams one final time to make sure they are free of any grit. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet, add the clams and vermouth and cook, shaking the skillet slightly, until the clams open. Remove and cool. Reserve any cooking liquid.
  • Make the breadcrumb mix: Place the remaining 10 tablespoons butter in the bowl of a food processor, add the garlic, scallions and lemon zest and juice and pulse to blend. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the breadcrumbs.
  • Prepare and bake the clams: Detach each clam from its shell and put the meat back in the shell. Mix the reserved cooking liquid from the clams (if any) with the cream. Pour a touch of the cream mixture on top of each clam and immediately mold some of the breadcrumb mixture into each of the shells so the clam body is covered. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until hot, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Broil the clams for 1 minute, watching them constantly so they don't burn. Remove them from the oven. Squirt with lemon juice. Top each clam with some parsley. Serve immediately.

CLAM STUFFING BAKE



Clam Stuffing Bake image

It seemed like Mom was always standing at her old black stove, coming up with recipes. This was one of the oldtime favorites. I loved stuffed clams any time of the year.

PHILADELPHIA CLAM PIES



Philadelphia Clam Pies image

Categories     Potato     Bake     Clam     Carrot     Winter     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 lb boiling potatoes
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 bacon slice, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 whole clove
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 (8-oz) bottle clam juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
24 small clams (1 1/2 to 2 inches across), shucked, reserving their liquor, and chopped if desired
1 (17 1/2-oz) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Special Equipment
6 (12- to 14-oz) deep ovenproof soup bowls

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch dice.
  • Heat butter and bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is pale golden, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaf, thyme, clove, carrots, celery, and potatoes and reduce heat to moderate, then cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and almost tender, about 15 minutes (be careful not to let them burn). Add wine, scraping up any brown bits.
  • Stir together clam juice and cornstarch. Add to vegetables in skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover skillet and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove lid and stir in clams with their liquor. Bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute, then remove from heat and cool to warm, uncovered. Discard bay leaf and clove.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Roll out 1 pastry sheet into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Cut out 3 squares of pastry that are at least 1 inch larger all around than tops of soup bowls. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet.
  • Divide clam filling among soup bowls (leaving at least a 3/4-inch space between surface of filling and tops of bowls). Brush 1 pastry square with egg and cover 1 bowl with it, egg side down, pressing edges of pastry firmly onto outside of bowl. Repeat with remaining squares of pastry and bowls. Brush tops of pastry with remaining egg.
  • Bake pies in bowls in a large shallow baking pan until pastry is golden and puffed, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams will give your pie the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Clean the clams thoroughly: Before you cook the clams, be sure to clean them thoroughly. This means removing any sand or grit from the shells. You can do this by soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes, then scrubbing them with a brush.
  • Cook the clams until they are tender: The clams should be cooked until they are tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked clams will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your pie, such as onions, celery, carrots, or potatoes. This will add flavor and texture to the pie.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: The pie crust is an important part of the pie, so be sure to use a good quality one. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: The pie should be baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

Baked clam pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover clams. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
