SPICY CLAM DIP

In this chile-flecked take on a classic 1950s clam dip, the cream cheese-based mixture is spooned into a gratin dish, sprinkled with Parmesan and baked until the topping melts and the dip turns molten and savory. Canned clams are traditional here, providing a gentle saline note and nubby texture without an assertive flavor. If you're starting with cream cheese straight from the fridge, soften it briefly in the microwave before adding it to the bowl; cold cream cheese is a lot harder to mix.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 (6.5-ounce) cans whole clams (1 cup), coarsely chopped (save the clam juice)
1/2 cup packaged, low-moisture grated mozzarella
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
1 jalapeño, seeded (if desired) and finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional) or clam juice, plus more to taste
Salt, if needed, and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, using a fork or rubber spatula, stir and mash together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  • Add clams, mozzarella, parsley, scallions, jalapeño, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, fish sauce or a teaspoon of reserved clam juice, and lots of black pepper, and stir until well combined. If the mixture seems thick, stir in a little more reserved clam juice.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If you think it needs salt, add it lightly, or try adding a little more fish sauce or more clam juice instead. Dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Clams: Use live, fresh clams for the best flavor and texture. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell.
  • Properly Clean Clams: Before cooking, soak the clams in cold water for 30 minutes to allow them to purge any sand or grit. Scrub the shells with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Clams: Clams cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked clams become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they open, which usually takes a few minutes.
  • Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor and texture, chill the clam dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up.

Conclusion:

The original clam dip recipe from Donna is a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With its creamy, savory flavor and tender clams, this dip is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Whether you are hosting a party or simply looking for a delicious snack, this clam dip is a great choice.
