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.
