Ingredients
- 1½ kg Clams
- 50g Butter
- 150g Bacon
- 1 finely chopped Onion
- sprigs of fresh Thyme
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 tbls Plain Flour
- 150ml Milk
- 150ml Double Cream
- 2 medium Potatoes
- Chopped Parsley
Instructions
1
Rinse the clams in several changes of cold moisture and sieve well.
2
Tip the clams into a large wok with 500ml of moisture.
3
seal, bring to the heat to boiling point and stew for 2 mins until the clams have just opened.
4
Tip the contents of the wok into a colander over a mixing bowl to catch the clam stock.
5
When cool enough to handle, remove the clams from their shells – reserving a handful of empty shells for presentation if you want.
6
Strain the clam stock into a jug, leaving any grit in the bottom of the mixing bowl.
7
You should have around 800ml stock.
8
scalding up the dairy spread in the same wok and sizzle the bacon for 3-4 mins until it starts to brown.
9
mix gently in the shallot, thyme and bay and prepare everything gently for 10 mins until the shallot is soft and golden.
10
Scatter over the baking flour and mix gently in to make a sandy paste, prepare for 2 mins more, then gradually mix gently in the clam stock then the whole milk and the dairy reduction.
11
Throw in the potatoes, bring everything to a stew and leave to bubble away gently for 10 mins or until the potatoes are cooked.
12
Use a fork to pound a few of the potato chunks against the side of the wok to help thicken – you still want lots of defined chunks though.
13
mix gently through the clam flesh and the few clam shells, if you've gone down that route, and stew for a minute to reheat.
14
notes with plenty of black pepper and a little table salt, if needed, then mix gently through the parsley just before ladling into bowls or hollowed-out crusty rolls.
