RAZOR CLAMS WITH KIELBASA

It's not that David Chang, the chef and owner of the Momofuku Noodle Bar in the East Village, doesn't like vegetables. In fact he loves them. He just thinks a little meat makes them better. Even his fish gets the meat treatment. When you look at Mr. Chang's razor clams with kielbasa, you see a dish that, with a couple of exceptions, like the addition of soy and ginger, could have originated in Portugal. Of course that country's cuisine has as much respect for the tradition of including meat in nearly everything as Mr. Chang's own.

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 razor clams, about 1 pound, rinsed and scrubbed
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch long piece of ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
Black pepper
1/2 lemon cut in 4 wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet large enough to hold clams in a single layer with foil. Use a paring knife to gently pry apart the clamshells and then cut the meat away, discarding any gritty dark parts and a half-inch of the dark, hard siphon. Place clam meat in the better-looking shell half.
  • Pour oil into 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until softened. Add parsley, sauté briefly, then stir in bread crumbs. Sauté, stirring, until bread crumbs are uniformly moistened with oil and starting to color. Season generously with pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Using a teaspoon, cover each clam with bread crumb mixture, patting it on with the back of the spoon. Do this over the skillet so that any crumbs that fall go back into the pan and are used. Place clams on baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges.

PANKO-BREADED FRIED RAZOR CLAMS



Panko-Breaded Fried Razor Clams image

I grew up on the West Coast where these tasty little treats are found. You can vary the amount of ingredients used in the recipe according to the number of clams you have, but be sure to use real Parmesan cheese and only panko crumbs, not regular bread crumbs. Pound the necks with a meat tenderizer, or deep fry them, if desired. These are delicious!!!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh razor clams: Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Purge the razor clams: Place the clams in a bowl of cold water and add a handful of salt. Let them soak for 30 minutes to remove any sand or grit.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the clam meat: Insert the knife into the hinge of the clam and twist it to open the shell. Then, use the knife to carefully remove the clam meat from the shell.
  • Cook the clams quickly: Razor clams are best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to preserve their delicate flavor and texture.
  • Serve the clams immediately: Razor clams are best served immediately after cooking. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of dipping sauces.

Conclusion:

Razor clams are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their mild flavor and delicate texture, they are a perfect addition to any seafood dish.
