Ingredients for Artichokes With Clams

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts, quartered (or 1 cup Spanish preserved artichoke hearts, drained)
  • Fish Stock
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Dry White Wine
  • 1 pound fresh littleneck clams, scrubbed

How to Make Artichokes With Clams

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  3. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the white wine and clam juice/broth until smooth.
  5. Add the clams, cover the pan, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.
  6. Stir in the artichoke hearts and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
