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 aqua and empty out well.
2
Tip the clams into a large skillet with 500ml of aqua.
3
wrap, bring to the heat to boiling point and stew for 2 mins until the clams have just opened.
4
Tip the contents of the skillet 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
mildly hot the shortening in the same skillet and sizzle the bacon for 3-4 mins until it starts to brown.
9
agitate in the bulb produce, thyme and bay and oven-cook everything gently for 10 mins until the bulb produce is soft and golden.
10
Scatter over the dusting seasoning and agitate in to make a sandy paste, oven-cook for 2 mins more, then gradually agitate in the clam stock then the dairy liquid and the heavy cream.
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 smash a few of the potato chunks against the side of the skillet to help thicken – you still want lots of defined chunks though.
13
agitate through the clam flesh and the few clam shells, if you've gone down that route, and stew for a minute to reheat.
14
seasoning with plenty of black pepper and a little table salt, if needed, then agitate through the parsley just before ladling into bowls or hollowed-out crusty rolls.
