Clams With White Wine Recipes

WHITE WINE-STEAMED CLAMS

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.

STEAMED CLAMS WITH WHITE WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Cook until the butter is almost fully melted.
• Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, until shallots just change color. Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring everything together.
• Pour in white wine and add in the clams. Give everyone one good stir and cover skillet with a lid. Cook clams until they all open, about 7-9 minutes.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Boil a generous amount of water in a large pot. Soak the clams in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water.
• In a large, heavy-based pot, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
• Add the garlic, chili flakes, and salt to the pot and stir for about 20 seconds.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and fry for about 7 minutes, until their juice starts to evaporate.
• Salt the boiling water and cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
• In the pot with the sauce, turn the heat up to medium-high and add the clams to the pot. Cover with a lid. After about 2 to 3 minutes, add the wine to the pot. Cover again and shake the pot from side to side.
• Cook the clams for a further 5 minutes, or until they open. Add the parsley and stir with a wooden spoon. Cover and shake the pot again. Check for any unopened clams and discard.
• Approximately at this point, the pasta should be ready to be drained. Drain and place in a big serving bowl or large plate.
• Pour the clam mixture on top. Mix the pasta and sauce well with the help of two big serving forks or some tongs. Serve immediately.
