Steamed Clams In White Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Make the foil packets: Tear off twenty 20-inch-long pieces of heavy-duty foil. For each packet, stack 2 sheets of foil and pull up the edges to form a bowl shape; put about 10 clams in each packet.
• Divide the shallots, garlic and parsley among the packets. Drizzle each with about 3 tablespoons wine and top with 2 tablespoons butter; season with salt and pepper. Gather the edges of the foil at the top and crimp to seal.
• Place the packets on the grill and cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until the clams open. (Discard any unopened clams.) Serve straight from the packet; garnish with thyme.

Steps:

• Wash the clams thoroughly and remove any blemishes. They should have no odor. Heat oil in a large saucepan (with a cover) over medium heat and cook garlic and onion until translucent. Add the wine and let cook for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors. Add the clams and clam juice (or water) and cover the pan for about 10 minutes until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open and remove clams to serving bowls. Season the juices in the pan with salt and pepper to make a sauce. Pour the sauce and melted butter over the clams.

Steps:

• Saute leeks, shallots, and bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fat is extracted from the bacon, about 5 minutes. Add white wine and bring to a simmer.
• Add cream, peas, Parmesan cheese, carrots, butter, and dried tarragon; bring to a simmer. Add clams, cover, and steam until clams open, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Wash clams to remove any dirt or sand.
• In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; saute for 1 minute, or until tender. Pour in the white wine. Boil until wine has reduced to half its original volume.
• Add clams, cover, and steam till clams start to open. Add butter, cover, and cook till most or all of the clams open. Discard any that do not open. Transfer clams and juice to 2 large bowls. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve.

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.
