CLAM STEW



Clam Stew image

This clam stew highlights the fresh, sweet and salty clam flavor, with the chorizo adding a little kick. Fresh Swiss chard greens from our garden, corn and cannellini beans round out the flavor profile. The best part, though, is dipping crusty bread into the delicious broth! -Pamela Gelsomini, Wrentham, Massachusetts

Tips:

  • Fresh is Best: Use the freshest clams you can find for the best flavor and texture. Look for clams with tightly closed shells and no foul odor.
  • Steaming Simplicity: Steaming is a classic and easy method for cooking clams. Simply place clams in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover, and let steam until the shells open.
  • Broiling Bliss: Broiling clams is a great way to achieve a smoky, caramelized flavor. Arrange clams on a baking sheet, drizzle with butter or olive oil, and broil until the shells open.
  • Sautéing Savory: Sautéing clams in a flavorful sauce is a quick and delicious option. Heat some olive oil or butter in a pan, add clams, and cook until the shells open.
  • Chowder Charm: Clams are a classic ingredient in chowder. Combine clams with vegetables, broth, and seasonings in a pot and simmer until the clams open and the chowder thickens.
  • Pasta Perfection: Clams pair wonderfully with pasta. Toss cooked clams with your favorite pasta, a flavorful sauce, and some fresh herbs for a delightful meal.
  • Stuffing Satisfaction: Stuffed clams are a delightful appetizer or main course. Combine bread crumbs, herbs, and seasonings, then stuff the mixture into clam shells. Bake or broil until golden brown.
