Wildonionclamchowder Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed saucepot, render the salt pork until just crisp. Remove and discard. Sweat the onion in the pork fat until tender. Add the potatoes and cover with milk. Bring to a boil and let simmer until potatoes are soft. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a separate pot, fitted with a steamer basket, bring the reserved clam juice to a boil. Add clams and cover. Steam for three minutes until all clams are open. Remove the clams as they open and transfer to a bowl. Add the steaming juices to the pot with the chowder. Using a stick blender puree to desired consistency. Adjust seasonings.
• Finely chop the drained canned clams. Fold into the chowder. Serve with steamed clams, parsley, sour cream and grape tomatoes, as garnish.

Steps:

• Drain juice from clams into a large skillet over the onions, celery, potatoes and carrots. Add water to cover, and cook over medium heat until tender.
• Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in vegetables and clam juice. Heat through, but do not boil.
• Stir in clams just before serving. If they cook too much they get tough. When clams are heated through, stir in vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, brown prosciutto, or bacon over medium-low heat until crisp.
• Add the onion and cook until softened.
• Add the flour and stir until lightly colored, about a minute.
• Slowly whisk in the clam broth, reserved clam liquid, potatoes, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the clams, cream, fresh parsley, salt and white pepper.
• Bring to a simmer and serve immediately.
• (You may substitute any type of shellfish, or even fish for the clams in this recipe.).

Steps:

• Place the clams in a pot large enough to hold them comfortably and cover with water. Let sit for 30 minutes. Drain the clams and rinse with cold running water several times. (You can do this up to 7 million times and you will never remove all the sand. Let this be a lesson in life to you.)
• Place the cleaned clams in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and add enough wine to go about halfway up the clams, about the whole bottle. Tie the thyme, oregano and bay leaves in a bundle and add to the pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and steam until the clams open completely, 15 to 20 minutes, or about 8 minutes after the liquid boils. Once the clams are all opened, remove them with a slotted spoon to a sheet pan to cool for a few minutes. Strain the clam broth through a fine strainer, reserving the liquid.
• Put a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, add the guanciale and prosciutto and begin to render, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove some pieces of crispy prosciutto for garnish, if possible. If not, move on. Add the onion, garlic and celery to the pot and gently sweat over medium-low heat until they begin to soften up, about 3 minutes. Add the diced potatoes and cook to allow more fat to render from the prosciutto and guanciale and for the vegetables to fully soften, another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove the clams from the shells and chop roughly; don't turn them into dust-big pieces are good. Add the clams and the Calabrian chile paste to the potato pot and add about two-thirds of the reserved clam broth. Let the chowder begin to gently heat up and come to a simmer. Once at a simmer, add the heavy cream, more or less depending on your desired taste; for brothy, add a smaller amount of the cream. Always taste the batch; it may need a touch of sea salt, it may not-some clams are saltier than others.
• To serve, place a well-proportioned ladle of chowder in a bowl and garnish with some celery leaves, reserved crispy prosciutto (if any) and cracked black pepper.

Steps:

• Use two separate pots, in one add half&half and heat medium high (do not boil) add corn starch and whisk well.
• Base:In the other pot all at once add water, clam juice, clam base, chardonnay, butter, Italian seasoning, pepper, potatoes, and onions. Cook at medium high until potatoes get soft and then add crab meat (or clams if crab is unavailable)

• Place bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir until well-browned and almost crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onions start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Don't worry if some of the tomato paste sticks to the bottom of the pot; we want that to happen. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Dump in reserved clam juice plus bottled clam juice and chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any caramelization.
• Add carrots, celery, clams, diced tomatoes, pepper, and cayenne; stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off some bacon fat if desired.
• Add diced potatoes and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed. Stir in fresh tarragon and parsley just before serving.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, cook potato, onion, salt and pepper in water until vegetables are tender (do not drain). Add clams, milk, butter and bacon; heat through (do not boil). Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until bacon begins to brown, about 8 minutes. Add onions, celery, garlic and bay leaf and sauté until vegetables soften, about 6 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes (do not allow flour to brown). Gradually whisk in reserved juices from clams. Add potato mixture, clams, half and half and hot pepper sauce. Simmer chowder 5 minutes to blend flavors, stirring frequently. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Bring to simmer before serving.)

Steps:

• Rinse and soak clams in cold water to remove any grit, 5 minutes. Heat a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a lid over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Peel and chop 2 shallots and 1 garlic clove and add to the pot, along with a few parsley stems. Cook about 2 minutes to "sweat" the vegetables. Drain clams and add to pot, along with white wine. Cover and cook over high heat until clams are opened, about 5 minutes.
• Add potatoes to a medium saucepan and cover with water; add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, check the clams: put the opened ones in a bowl, then "agitate" the pot by moving it back and forth over the heat to coax the remaining ones to open. Once the clams are open and out of the pot, continue cooking to reduce the liquid to about 1 cup. (Watch for sand that may have accumulated at the bottom of the pot.) Discard any clams that haven't opened.
• Dice the leek and toss in a bowl of water to remove any sand. Dice celery and fennel (reserving the fronds). Peel and mince 1 garlic clove, 1 shallot, and the onion. Remove cooked potatoes to a bowl to cool.
• Preheat soup pot over medium heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the pot. While the pot is heating, remove the leeks from the water to a clean bowl.

Add the shellfish cooking liquid. Add the jalapeño slice and a lemon peel to the soup. Bring to a simmer and cook, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the clams from their shells and roughly chop. Cut the potatoes to roughly the same size as the clams; cut the shrimp in half or thirds, depending on size. Add dashi to the soup, followed by the cream. Taste to adjust the seasonings, and add salt and pepper if necessary. Add a pinch of Aleppo pepper and the shrimp; bring the soup back to a simmer. Add the potatoes and clams, then cover until heated through.
• Finish soup with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley. Ladle into bowls and serve.
• Place kombu in 1 quart cold water to soak, 30 minutes. Then discard soaking water, place kombu in a small saucepan, and cover with 1 quart fresh cold water. Over medium-low heat, bring to a simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let kombu steep, 30 minutes. Turn heat back on and bring to almost a simmer. Add bonito flakes, but don't stir.

• Note:.
• Change the food at least every three to five days with a new batch to keep it fresh. Remember don't use food coloring.
• Check the bird feeder regularly and every time you change the food to see if any gray mold has formed inside the feeder base, or, any ants have crawled inside to get at the sugar water.
• If you see any take the feeder down and throw the bird food away. It's not good for the birds to drink this. Chances are they won't drink it anyway.
• Clean the hummingbird feeder by rinsing with warm water. Then, put a few drops of bleach into the water inside the feeder and clean with a bottle brush.
• Once clean, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and let dry.
