Baked Clams In Spicy Butter Sauce Les Palourdes Aux Aromates Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange the open clams, meat side up, on a baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 450.
• In a saucepan, combine the chopped shallots and wine.
• Cook briefly, stirring.
• Add the butter and heat, stirring, until it melts.
• Add the salt, pepper, tabasco, worcestershire sauce, and mustard.
• Bring just to the boil, stirring.
• Cook and continue stirring for about 5 minutes.
• Add the basil& let the sauce cool to lukewarm.
• Spoon the sauce over the clams and bake for 10 minutes.
• Then run the clams under the broiler for about 15 seconds (no longer!) Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Drain clams and reserve 3 tablespoons broth.
• Heat olive oil in a small frying pan. Sauté onion, parsley, oregano, and the 1/4 cup cracker crumbs for 2 minutes, or until onion is golden. Remove from heat and mix with clams, the 3 tablespoons clam broth, and garlic salt. Spoon into a dozen clam shells or aluminum shells.
• Sprinkle lightly with a mixture made of 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons cracker crumbs.
• On a baking sheet, bake in a 375°F oven for 25 minutes, or until crusty on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Heat a large skillet and add the clams. Add the white wine and cook the clams over high heat until they open. Remove the clams from the skillet as they open using a pair of kitchen tongs, and gather them in a large bowl. Allow clams to cool for a few minutes and then twist off the top shells, leaving the clam "meat" in the bottom shells. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Place the cut bacon in a skillet and cook until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and reserve the grease.
• Place the butter in the bowl of a food processor and add the scallions, garlic, lemon zest and half of the lemon juice. Pulse to blend. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the reserved bacon grease and the breadcrumbs and stir to blend. Place the breadcrumb mixture on a baking sheet and cook in the oven until golden brown and bubbling, 3-5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
• Remove the clams from the refrigerator and loosely mold some of the breadcrumb mixture into each shell so the clam body is somewhat covered. Arrange the clams in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Broil for 1 minute, watching constantly so they don't burn. Remove from the oven and squirt with the remaining lemon juice. Top each clam with the bacon and parsley and serve immediately.
• *Note: For safety reasons, discard any clams that are open before you cook them and any that are closed after you cook them.

Steps:

• Put clams in a large kettle or clam pot with the water; cook over moderate heat, just until the shells open.
• Remove from the heat and when cool enough to handle, pluck the whole clams from the shells; save half the shells.
• Meanwhile, blend together the butter, garlic, parsley and bread crumbs.
• Set each clam back into a half shell and spread about a teaspoon of the mixture atop each clam in a shell.
• Arrange filled shells in a baking dish and broil 4" from the heat source until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Coarsely chop the clams and combine with the lemon juice in a separate bowl.
• Place the clam shells on a baking sheet, using a thin bed of rock salt to stabilize them if desired, and divide chopped clams between them.
• Top with the bread crumb mixture and drizzle with the butter.
• Cook under a preheated broiler until the topping is golden brown and the clams are bubbling, about 2 minutes.
• Garnish with lemon wedges.
