Instructions:
-
Sauté Onions: In a very large stock or pasta pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until they are light brown and caramelized.
-
Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic cloves, fresh ground pepper, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of sea salt. Sauté for a few minutes longer until the garlic is fragrant.
-
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, intensifying its flavor.
-
Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, allowing it to mingle with the flavors already in the pot, creating a savory base for the clambake.
-
Cook Potatoes and Sausage: Add the potatoes and sausage to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the flavorful broth. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender.
-
Incorporate Corn and Herbs: Stir in the fresh herbs and dried herbs, infusing the dish with their aromatic essence. Add the corn to the pot, allowing it to soak up the savory flavors.
-
Add Seafood: Now, it’s time for the star of the show – the seafood! Add the seafood items one by one, starting with those that take the longest to cook. This ensures that everything is perfectly cooked and tender.
-
Cover and Simmer: Cover the pot tightly with a lid after each addition of seafood. This helps to retain the heat and allows the seafood to steam gently in the flavorful broth.
-
Serve Hot: Once all the seafood is added and cooked through, it’s time to serve! Ladle the steaming clambake into large pasta dishes, ensuring each serving is brimming with seafood and vegetables.
-
Enjoy with Crusty Bread: To complete the meal, serve plenty of hearty crusty bread on the side. It’s perfect for mopping up the flavorful broth, ensuring that not a drop goes to waste.
