SPICY CLAMS IN WHITE WINE SAUCE

SPICY CLAMS IN WHITE WINE SAUCE

INGREDIENTS: 2-4 dozen bag of littleneck clams, 2 tbs butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, 5-10 cloves chopped garlic, 1 large white onion chopped, 1 tsp each crushed red pepper, salt, parsley & basil, 2-4 cups of white wine (depends on how many clams you are steaming)I like to have about 1/2 inch of liquid in the bottom of the pan.

Soak clams in fresh wash to get all the sand out. Meanwhile, sauté oil, butter, onion & garlic for 5 minutes, add dried spices and cook another 5 minutes, add wine and bring to a boil, add clams and bring back to a boil, keep covered and reduce heat to medium until all the clams open.
