Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 lemons, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
48 Ipswich or other soft-shell clams (also known as steamers)
Peanut oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
2 cups buttermilk
1 recipe Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
1 large egg yolk
1 small egg
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup peanut oil
6 cornichons, finely diced
1 tablespoon drained capers, finely diced
1/2 small onion, minced (1/4 cup)
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Put the lemon slices on a tray and sprinkle both sides with salt and sugar. Transfer the slices to a rack and place in a dry area for 3 hours so the lemons can dehydrate. Rinse well in cold water and pat dry. Set aside.
  • Shuck the clams if you have purchased them in the shell. Slide an oyster knife into the unhinged side of each clam, carefully prying open the shells. Slice the knife around the margin of the clam meat, scraping the bottom of the shell to loosen the clam in 1 piece. Discard the shells. Slip off and discard the black sheath surrounding the siphon (the small "neck"). Rinse the shucked clams in running cold water.
  • Heat the peanut oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Stir together the flour, salt, and peppers in a mixing bowl. Pour the buttermilk into a second, shallow bowl.
  • Fry the lemon slices first: dip each slice into the buttermilk and then into the seasoned flour. Fry the slices in small batches until they just turn golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels. The lemons can be fried 1 hour in advance and kept in a warm oven.
  • Remove any of the cooked lemon particles from the oil using a small metal strainer or a long-handled slotted spoon.
  • Dip each clam into the buttermilk and then into the seasoned flour. Place them in the hot oil individually (they tend to clump together). Cook in batches until crispy and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and transfer to a tray lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Arrange the clams on a warm tray with a bowl of Tartar Sauce and the fried lemons.
  • Combine the yolk, egg, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and salt and pepper, to taste, in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 30 seconds. With the machine running, add a thin, steady stream of oil until the mayonnaise is emulsified (smooth, thick and creamy). Fold in the remaining ingredients, taste, and adjust the seasonings.

FRIED IPSWICH CLAMS WITH SORREL AIOLI



Fried Ipswich Clams with Sorrel Aioli image

This dish channels the best of the clam shacks that dot the East Coast. Here, a crunchy cornmeal coating and a quick dip in hot oil render these soft-shell clams succulent and juicy. As an accompaniment, chopped sorrel gives aioli a lemony lift and gorgeous color for a nice twist on tartar sauce. For fun, serve them to your guests the way we do in the restaurants-in little paper cones. They're not hard to fold, make for great oil-absorbing containers, and make you feel like you're on the boardwalk.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sifted cornmeal
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
24 freshly shucked soft-shell clams
1 cup milk
Sorrel Aioli (recipe follows)
1 fresh egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon
10 sorrel leaves, chopped
1 1/2 cups canola oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Fill a deep, heavy pot with 3 inches of canola oil and heat to 350°F.
  • Combine the flour and cornmeal on a shallow plate and season with salt and pepper. Dip each clam into the milk, then dredge in the flour mixture.
  • Fry the clams in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt while hot. Serve with the aioli for dipping.
  • Place the egg yolk, water, mustard, lemon juice, and sorrel in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. With the motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Season to taste with salt.

  • Pick through the clams to make sure there are no bits of shell or obvious grit. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Submerge the clams in buttermilk.
  • Preheat the oven to 200ºF and put a rack set over a baking sheet inside the oven. Heat enough oil to float the clams, about a quart or so. What oil? Anything you feel like, but I prefer peanut oil or, well... fresh lard. You want the oil hot, about 360ºF.
  • When the oil is almost ready, coat a few clams in the breading. Don't do more than your fryer can handle in one batch, as you want the clams to go right from breading into the fryer. If you want super-extra crispy clams, dip the breaded clams back in the buttermilk and again in the breading; I think this is too much, but some people like them that way.
  • Fry the clams until they are golden brown, about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Move them to the rack in the oven and repeat with the remaining clams -- make sure the oil gets back up to temperature between batches. Serve with homemade tartar sauce, malt vinegar, remoulade, ketchup or hot sauce.

  • Combine the flours, salt, and both peppers in a large mixing bowl and mix well. You’ll have more than you need for this recipe, so whatever is left over you can store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for several weeks or more.
  • In many cases, you will be frying in batches to avoid the problems that can happen if you overcrowd your fryer. In anticipation of this, line a baking sheet with paper towels and preheat the oven to 250ºF (121°C).
