Recipe Introduction
Years ago I found a basic recipe on a can of clams, I tweaked it to suit myself and eventually came up with this recipe.
List of Ingredients
1 can clams with juice
4 tablespoons chopped fat salt pork or chopped bacon
1 onion, chopped
1 to 2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
few grains pepper
1 cup milk or cream
Recipe
Method:-
Fry out pork or bacon. Remove browned pieces and save for garnish. Saute onion and celery in fat until onion is translucent. Add potatoes, salt and boiling water. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile make a cream sauce:- In a saucepan melt butter, stir in flour and pepper, then stir in milk and juice from the clams. Cook until slightly thick, add clams.
Stir this sauce into potato mixture. Keep hot and serve with bacon bits sprinkled on top.
Makes approx. 6 servings
NOTE:- I have a couple friends that could eat most of this themselves, so if they are visiting I double the recipe.
