I love clams casino, and I made that fact known publicly in this post last year.
Certainly, a tray of hot clams casino would make a handsome addition to
your Super Bowl spread, but large, fresh clams aren’t cheap, and you're
probably looking for something a little simpler, and that can be made
ahead of time.
This
clam dip appetizer (which is technically a "spread" as I explain at the
end of the video), contains the same basic ingredient list as
traditional clams casino, and while it really tastes nothing like its
hot namesake, I think any fan of the clam dip will be very happy with
it.
You'll
see a caption during the video saying to make the dip at least four
hours ahead of time for best results. This time allows the flavors to
develop and really makes a difference. What I failed to add was that you
should also take the spread out of the fridge and let in sit out for an
hour or so before the party, so it can warm up a bit.
