WHITE WINE AND GARLIC STEAMED CLAMS



White Wine and Garlic Steamed Clams image

My boyfriend and I went to a restaurant in Newport, RI and got this dish so many times they finally gave us the recipe...we never went back because we make it so much at home! Easy and delicious...just have extra bread on hand for dipping!

Provided by kristineaston

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

36 littleneck clams (I make about 3 dozen for 2 people)
6 -8 minced fresh garlic cloves
2 teaspoons thyme
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
white wine
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in large pan (use enough to lightly coats bottom -- about 3 TBSP).
  • Saute garlic until a little soft (DO NOT let it brown).
  • Place clams in pan on top of oil & garlic (try to place in single layer, but can be double on top of each other).
  • Add enough white wine to barely cover/meet the middle of the clams.
  • Add crushed red pepper and thyme (you can change the amounts to your liking -- I usually make it pretty spicy).
  • Cover with a tight lid and steam until all clams have opened (I use a clear glass top so I can watch them and not have to take the lid off, but you don't have to).
  • Poor into large bowl and serve.
  • Enjoy with some crusty bread for dipping in the sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound striped bass fillets
3/4 pound halibut fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 chopped garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley plus additional for garnish
Salt
Pepper
20 clams (scrubbed)
16 mussels (scrubbed and debearded)
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Cut striped bass fillets and halibut fillets into 2-inch cubes (don't use tuna or salmon - they do not belong in a fish stew). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots, chopped garlic, and dried crushed red pepper. After they are light brown (about 2 minutes), add parsley, then quickly throw in the fish. Add salt and pepper to taste. After the fish is lightly colored, add clams and mussels and white wine. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (when the mussels and clams open, the stew is done). Okay? Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Serve with 1/2-inch-thick slices of Italian bread, fried in olive oil, on the side. That's it; it's done.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Serves 12 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/2 cup minced tomato
1/2 cup white wine
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Grilled bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
  • Place a large heatproof pan on grill near, but not over, the hottest side of the grill. Add butter and garlic and cook until butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and white wine.
  • Place clams directly over fire on grill and cook until opened, transferring clams to pan as they open. Season clams with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with grilled bread.

Categories     dinner, quick, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 shallots, peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
5 sprigs Italian parsley
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds Maine butter clams (or littlenecks or mussels)
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups bottled clam juice or chicken broth, or more if desired
1 cup drained garlic confit (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Oil from garlic confit, optional
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound linguine, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, parsley and bay leaf. Saute until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add clams and wine, raise heat to high, and cover. Boil until all of the clams have opened, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a bowl, then cover.
  • Add clam juice to the saucepan, and boil over high heat until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. Remove and discard bay leaf, parsley and thyme sprigs. Transfer contents of pan to a blender, and add garlic confit and lemon juice. With blender running, add remaining 1/2 cup olive oil in a slow steady stream until sauce is smooth and emulsified. For extra garlic flavor, add some of the oil from garlic confit if desired.
  • Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust thickness of sauce with more clam juice, if desired. Toss with linguine, and top with clams. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium onion, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup dry white wine

Tips:

  • Choosing Fresh Clams: Opt for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any with cracked or broken shells.
  • Purging Clams: Place clams in a large bowl filled with cold water and 1/4 cup of salt. Let them soak for 30 minutes to remove any sand or grit.

  • Using White Wine: Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking. It will add a subtle flavor to the dish.
  • Cooking Clams: Cook clams over medium heat until they open, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
