Creamy Clam Dip

Creamy Clam Dip We had friends over for dinner a few days ago and instead of having a sit-down meal we decided to make a bunch of appetizers. It was a simple, casual, and tasty dinner. Everyone enjoyed grazing throughout the evening – especially the kids. I adapted this recipe from my newest library find, “Gourmet Every Day”. I really like this cookbook, it has fun and family-friendly recipes that are a bit gourmet. The big chunks of clam were chewy and flavorful while the red pepper and shallot gave it a nice crunch. I really, really liked this dip -which isn’t a good thing because it’s very addictive and I ate too much. I served it with little rye crisps and pita chips. The kids and adults enjoyed this creamy clam dip.

  1. I’ve been eating this since I was a child (well, a version of it). Have my boyfriend hooked on it now, too. Such a great dip!
