Tips:
- Choose the right clams: Fresh clams are essential for this dish. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid clams that are open or have a fishy odor.
- Soak the clams: Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove any grit or sand.
- Use good-quality sausage: The sausage is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good-quality sausage. Look for a sausage that is flavorful and has a good texture.
- Cook the sausage and peppers first: Cooking the sausage and peppers before adding the clams helps to develop their flavor and prevent the clams from overcooking.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams are very delicate, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook the clams just until they open, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the clams immediately: Clams are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm, you can place them in a chafing dish or a warm oven.
