Ingredients
- 5 3/4 cups bottled clam juice
- 5 pounds littleneck clams
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 shallots, sliced (1/4 inch)
- 2 ribs diced (1/4 inch) celery
- 2 heads garlic, halved
- 1 tomato, quartered
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 sprigs thyme
- Lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, reduce the clam juice to 2 cups. Thoroughly scrub and rinse the clams under cold running water. In a large pot, heat the oil over high heat. Add the shallots, celery, garlic, tomato, parsley, and tomato paste and stir constantly for 30 seconds. Add the clams and stir for 30 seconds. Add the wine, cover, and continue cooking over high heat until most of the clams have opened, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool over an ice bath; discard any unopened clams. Reserve about 2 cups of cooking liquid. Remove all but 8 clams from the shells and cut away and discard the mantles, keeping only the bellies. In a medium saucepan, combine the reduced clam juice with the clam cooking liquid and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until emulsified. Add the thyme sprigs, season with lemon juice to taste, and steep for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs.
