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 filter well.
2
Tip the clams into a large cooking vessel with 500ml of moisture.
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 cooking vessel 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
bring to temperature the dairy spread in the same cooking vessel and sizzle the bacon for 3-4 mins until it starts to brown.
9
agitate in the bulb greens, thyme and bay and bring to temperature everything gently for 10 mins until the bulb greens is soft and golden.
10
Scatter over the baking flour and agitate in to make a sandy paste, bring to temperature for 2 mins more, then gradually agitate 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 grind down a few of the potato chunks against the side of the cooking vessel 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
essence with plenty of black pepper and a little seasoning, if needed, then agitate through the parsley just before ladling into bowls or hollowed-out crusty rolls.
