Portuguese Steamed Littlenecks
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 48 Littleneck clams
- 1 lb. Linguica
- 1 cup Fresh Tomatoes chopped
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Scallions chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic crushed
- 1 cup White Wine
Instructions
- Scrub clams well and rinse in cool water. Slice linguica and crumble. Place lingucia, tomatoes, onion, scallions, parsley, garlic, wine and ¾ cup of water into a large kettle. Place clams on top, cover and bring to a boil. Boil until the clams have opened completely. To serve, divide clams and sauce equally into 4 large soup plates. Serve with extra broth on the side and plenty of crusty Portuguese bread.
- This recipe may easily be transformed into Steamed Clams Madeira by omitting the linguica and replacing the white wine with Madeira and the parsley for fresh chopped basil.
