CONTEST-WINNING NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER



Contest-Winning New England Clam Chowder image

This is the best New England clam chowder recipe, ever! In the Pacific Northwest, we dig our own razor clams and I grind them for the chowder. Since these aren't readily available, the canned clams are perfectly acceptable. -Sandy Larson, Port Angeles, Washington

New England Clam Chowder image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups clam juice
1 cup vegetable stock
6 pounds cherrystone clams, scrubbed
One 6-ounce can whole clams, drained and chopped, liquid from can reserved
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces pancetta, diced
2 strips bacon, diced
4 stalks celery, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound golden potatoes, cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch dice
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Oyster crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the clam juice and vegetable stock to a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the clams and steam until fully opened, 5 to 8 minutes. Strain the steaming liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining sand and add the liquid from the canned clams; set aside.

Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, heavy cream and the reserved clam broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped canned clams, reserved cherrystones, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve hot in bowls and garnish with the dill, oyster crackers and reserved bacon and pancetta. Serve with more Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce alongside.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 quarts, 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into half-tablespoon pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives or green onions
10 pounds small quahogs or large cherrystone clams, scrubbed and rinsed, open clams discarded
6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (2 1/2 to 3 cups)
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 teaspoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the clams, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pot and quickly stir the clams with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer (this will depend on the type and size of the clams), or until most of the clams are open.
  • Transfer the clams to a large bowl or baking dish and strain the broth twice through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, being careful to strain out the sand. (You should have about 8 cups of clam broth. If not, add enough water to bring the volume up to 8 cups.) When the clams are cool enough to handle, remove them from their shells and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Set the clams and broth aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a large heavy pot over medium heat until crisp and the fat is rendered. Pour off all the bacon fat except 2 tablespoons. Add the 4 tablespoons butter, leeks, onions, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves and cook until the vegetables are thoroughly wilted, about 3 minutes, being careful not to brown. Add the potatoes and reserved clam broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the broth thickens slightly and the potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes. (If you like a thicker broth, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon.). Remove from the heat, Discard the thyme stems and bay leaves, stir in the clams and cream, and season with the pepper and the salt to taste.
  • Set the chowder aside for 1 hour, covered, to allow the flavors to marry. Place the pot over low heat and slowly reheat, being careful not to let boil. Serve hot; garnish each bowl with a pat of butter and some parsley and chives.

NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER



New England Clam Chowder image

This is a rich and flavorful Chowder - creamy in body and full of clams - I have lived east and west coast and have lived in BC, Canada and this recipe is a combination of all - plus the love and care of my Jims' clam chowder

Provided by Ravenseyes

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 dozen clams
1 cup diced onion
8 cups potatoes
1/2 cup celery
3 garlic cloves
12 cups clam juice
3 cups fat-free half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large steamer pot add your cleaned clams - with 1 cup of white wine and 2 tsps crushed garlic. Steam until clams are fully opened.
  • Remove clams from the pot and set aside to cool.
  • Reserve all liquids from the clam steam (this is the clam liquor - add bottled clam juice to equal 12 cups).
  • In a 6 qt or larger pot add 1 tbsp olive oil, over medium high heat, add onions, celery, garlic and potatoes. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until onions are clear.
  • Add clam liquor and cook till potatoes are tender.
  • In a small pot melt butter add flour, salt and pepper cook for two minutes slowly add several ladles of the clam juice from the soup pot to the rue and cook till it begins to thicken, remember to stir constantly while thickening or you will burn your rue. Return the rue to the soup pot and allow the two to come together. Add cream and cook for 10 minutes.
  • The last touch is to add your chopped clams - I add them last so they don't turn to rubber. Serve with a nice crusty bread.

JIM'S NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER



Jim's New England Clam Chowder image

After years of watching my New England relatives try to perfect their versions of this venerable seaside staple and several morphs and versions of my own, this has become my favorite. It yields a hearty delicious chowder that is not too thick. It is also forgiving enough that you can tweak it a bit to make it more healthy. For parties, I make this recipe as follows then place it in a crock pot on low. Guests eat it all day and there are never any leftovers!

Provided by Vic Damoth

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h

Yield 5 Quarts, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (51 ounce) can clams (chopped or minced, Costco or BJ's carries these size cans)
3 lbs Red Bliss potatoes (you won't have to peel the bliss!) or 3 lbs maine utility potatoes (you won't have to peel the bliss!)
6 ounces salt pork
3 celery ribs
1 large onion
2 cups milk (I use 2%)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 sprig fresh rosemary, in cheesecloth or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, in a tea ball
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Dice the salt pork into small cubes.
  • I usually slice it into a grid while it is still attached to the skin, then slice across the skin where it attaches to the fat and the cubes pop off easily.
  • Sauté the salt pork in a large 5 quart non stick sauce pan.
  • When the cubes are golden brown strain them from the rendered fat onto a paper bag to drain.
  • Save 4 tablespoons of the liquid fat from the salt pork,then wipe out the sauce pan with a paper towel.
  • Put the fat back in the sauce pan.
  • Dice the large onion into small pieces.
  • Slice the 3 ribs of celery lengthwise then dice it into small pieces.
  • Place the diced onion and celery into the heated pork fat and sauté until the onions are opaque and the celery is a bit soft.
  • Pour the entire can of clams (broth and all) into the onion/celery mixture and bring to a simmer.
  • Place the rosemary into the clam broth mixture.
  • Peel the Maine potatoes OR scrub the red bliss potatoes.
  • Then cut them into 3/4-inch cubes--I like them a bit chunky--and soak them in cold water for about five minutes.
  • Take the stick of butter and melt it in a small sauce pan.
  • Add the 3 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and stir until well blended.
  • Drain the potatoes and place them into the clam mixture, simmer until al dente.
  • Next, pour the 2 cups of milk into the simmering clam broth mixture and bring back to a simmer.
  • Lastly, swirl the butter/flour roux into the chowder and simmer for about 10 more minutes until the chowder thickens.
  • Remove the rosemary and serve this chowder in big bowls with oyster crackers and the pieces of golden brown pork fat, salt and pepper to taste.
  • NOTE: I don't like my chowder too thick so you may have to adjust the butter/flour mixture.
  • You may skip the butter and use a low-fat margarine.
  • You may also substitute skim milk too (or skip the milk altogether, this is called Point Judith/Rhode Island style!).
  • You may even skip the whole pork fat thing for a healthier recipe.
  • This chowder is so hearty that it stands up well to "healthier alternative" substitutions.

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 celery stalks, peeled to remove strings and cut into 1/4 dice
1 cup small pearl onion, peeled
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups unsalted clam juice
4 small Yukon Gold potatoes, (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 large sprigs fresh thyme
8 pounds quahog clams, shucked, liquid reserved, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (2 pounds shucked clams)
2 fresh ears yellow corn, kernels removed
2 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoons dry sherry, (optional)

Steps:

  • In a stockpot, cook bacon until crisp. Drain bacon on a paper towel, and set aside; discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat. Add celery and onions; saute, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until translucent, about 7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over onion mixture; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Add clam juice, 1/2 cup water, potatoes, bay leaves, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper; cover; bring to a boil. Pick thyme leaves from stems; add both leaves and stems to pot. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer until potatoes are almost fork tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Add clams and reserved liquid, cover, and cook 4 minutes over medium heat. Add corn kernels, cover, and cook 4 to 6 minutes. Add milk and butter; cook until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves and thyme stems; add remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and salt.
  • Drizzle with sherry, and garnish with bacon pieces. Serve immediately.

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ounces salt pork, rind removed and cut into 1/3 inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (12 to 14 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/3 inch pieces (4 ounces)
5 -6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
2 dried bay leaves
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, and cut into 1/2 inch dice
4 cups clam broth
8 lbs small quahogs or 8 lbs large cherrystone clams, diced clams from reserved from broth instructions
1 1/2-2 cups heavy cream
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley, for garnish
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Scrub the clams, and rinse clean.
  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in an 8-quart stockpot over high heat.
  • Add the clams, and cover tightly.
  • After 5 minutes, uncover, and stir the clams with a wooden spoon.
  • Quickly cover the pot again, and let steam for 5 minutes more, or until most of the clams have opened.
  • Don't wait for them all to open, or they will be overcooked.
  • It should only take a little tug or prying to open the stragglers once they are all removed from the heat.
  • The total cooking time for large cherrystones will be about 10 minutes; quahogs will need as much as 5 more minutes.
  • While the clams are steaming, the broth should become foamy and light.
  • It usually spills over a bit just as the clams are cooked and ready.
  • As soon as you remove the clams from the stove, carefully pour as much of the broth as you can into a tall, narrow container.
  • Let the broth sit for 10 minutes, then carefully pour through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • After sitting, 99 percent of the grit will have collected at the bottom of the container.
  • If you are not using the broth within the hour, chill it as quickly as possible, and cover it after it has completely cooled.
  • Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Remove the clams from their shells, cover, and refrigerate.
  • After they have cooled a bit, dice them into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cover again, and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Heat a 4- to 6-quart heavy-bottomed pot over low heat and add the salt pork.
  • Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook until the salt pork is a crisp golden brown.
  • Remove from pot; set aside.
  • Add the butter, onions, garlic, celery, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Sauté, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the onions are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and the strained clam broth.
  • The broth should just barely cover the potatoes; if it doesn't, add enough water to cover them.
  • Increase the heat, and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, and cook the potatoes vigorously until they are soft on the outside but still firm in the center, about 10 minutes.
  • If the broth hasn't thickened lightly, smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to release the starch.
  • Remove pot from the heat, and stir in the diced clams and the cream.
  • Season to taste.
  • If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit, then refrigerate; cover the chowder after it has completely chilled.
  • Otherwise, let it sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over low heat; don't let it boil.
  • Ladle into cups or bowls, making sure that the clams, potatoes, and onions are evenly divided.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, chives, and reserved salt-pork cracklings.
