Classic Clam Bake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 2 pounds of new potatoes
- 6 ears of corn, husked and halved
- 2 pounds of kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 2 lemons, sliced
- 1/2 cup of white wine
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Add the corn, kielbasa, onions, and garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Drain the water from the pot and transfer the contents to a large bowl. Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning over the mixture and toss to coat.
- Prepare 6 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide the seasoned mixture evenly among the foil pieces. Top each with 4 clams, a drizzle of melted butter, a few lemon slices, and a splash of white wine. Seal the foil packets tightly.
- Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the clams have opened and the potatoes are tender.
- Carefully open the foil packets, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Clam Bake is a traditional New England seafood feast that dates back to the early days of American colonial history. This iconic dish originated with the Native American tribes of the region, who would cook a variety of seafood, including clams, lobsters, and fish, along with potatoes, corn, and other vegetables, in a pit lined with hot stones and seaweed. The method of cooking has evolved over time, with modern versions often involving steaming or boiling the ingredients in a large pot. Notable chefs and restaurants in New England, such as Woodman's in Essex, Massachusetts, have become famous for their expertly prepared Clam Bakes. Today, the best versions of this dish can still be found in coastal regions of New England, where fresh seafood is abundant. The key to a perfect Clam Bake lies in using the freshest ingredients, especially the clams and lobsters, and infusing them with the flavors of the sea. Whether enjoyed at a seaside restaurant or prepared at home, a well-executed Clam Bake is a true celebration of New England's maritime heritage.
