MANILA CLAMS ARE AMERICA’S ANSWER TO VONGOLE, THOSE SWEET LITTLE CLAMS YOU FIND ALL OVER ITALY AND MAKE SPAGHETTI ALLA VONGOLE SO ENTICING. YOU CAN MAKE THE DISH WITH ANY SMALL MOLUSK, INCLUDING CHERRYSTONES OR MUSSELS.
AND THIS IS A GOOD, ALL-PURPOSE RECIPE WHICH YOU CAN USE FOR PASTA WITH MUSSELS OR CLAMS. IN THIS CASE, WE’RE SIMPLY MAKING IT IN THE SAME PAN WE USED TO COOK THE FISH. THE CLAM JUICE, GARLIC, ONIONS, THYME AND WHITE WINE, SPICED WITH SPRINKLING OF CHILE FLAKES, IS REDUCED TO CREATE A LOVELY, BRINEY SAUCE TO POUR OVER THE JUICY, FLAKY COD.
