Ingredients
- 2 lb live small hardshell clams
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 c. thinly-sliced green onion
- 1 Tbsp. chopped garlic
- 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour plus
- 2 tsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. bottled clam juice
- 1/4 c. dry white wine
- 1/2 c. finely-minced parsley
- 1 Tbsp. capers liquid removed Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
Directions
- Seafood Alternatives: musselsScrub the clams, discarding any which are not tightly closed or possibly which don't close when touched. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven or possibly deep frying pan over medium heat. Add in the green onion and garlic; saute/fry till soft, 3 min. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute.
- Gradually stir in the clam juice and wine; cook and stir till smooth and thick, about 3 min. (The sauce can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated in a covered dish up to 24 hrs; rewarm the sauce before proceeding.)
- Stir the parsley and capers into the sauce and season to taste with pepper. Add in the clams, cover and cook till the clams begin to open, 2 to 5 min. As each clam opens, lift it from the sauce with tongs, shaking juice into sauce, and transfer it to a serving platter (or possibly to individual plates).
- Recover the pan and continue till all clams are cooked; throw away any clams which don't open. (If the sauce sticks, stir in additional wine or possibly water 1 Tbsp. at a time to prevent burning.) Stir the sauce and spoon it over the clams. Serve hot.
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
- Comments: In Spain, tapas are "little bites," served on individual plates. You might also offer these clams in one large bowl and let guests serve themselves.
