Hey gang - life gets busy, haven't had time to post. Just sent this quick and easy summer beauty to a friend and figured I'd just post it here too. Lazy as all get out - but still a yummy treat.
Yeild: whatever
Time: 30 min (not including scrubbing...that's another 30)
Ingredients:
couple dozen clams per person, I soak and scrub 3 times, cuz grit makes me glum
2 med zucchini or squash per person
1 clove garlic per person, just smash it, no need to mince
1-3 oz diced pork product of your choosing (sausage, pancetta, bacon)
oil
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved, per person
1/4 cup white wine, per person
big fat bunch o fresh basil
red pepper flakes, if you like
Method:
* so - first you need a mandolin get the squash into sketti - just do the outer parts, not the seed core....here's a link...this is the cheap assed one I have - use it all the time http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?sku=10496373
* scrubby your clams
* sketti-ize and portion your squash raw into your serving bowls before you get started
* heat a little oil over low heat and slowly render the fat out of your pork, essentially you want to melt the fat out and lightly brown the not fat part
* turn up the heat once you're rendered (or you're bored)
* add garlic and swirl till fragrant and a little colored
* toss in the clams, the wine and half the basil, bring to a boil and cover tightly until the clams open
* ladle a little broth onto the squash to get it working, let it stand about a minute, then top with clams, tomatoes and more broth and fresh basil
* enjoy!
Aw hell - I'm just gonna copy and paste this into a post... lol
