Ingredients
- 6 ounces spicy Italian chicken sausage
- 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 shallot minced
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup white wine dry
- 2 pounds littleneck clams See Note 1
- 1 tablespoon parsley flat-leaf, minced
- baguette if desired (See Note 2, toasted, pieces, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Add the sausages and, using a wooden spoon, break up the sausages as they cook.
- Once the sausage have browned and cooked through, move them to one side of the saucepan and turn the heat to medium.
- Add the olive oil to the empty part of the saucepan, then add the red bell pepper, shallots and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the mixture together with the sausage.
- Pour the white wine into the sausage mixture and bring to a boil.
- Add the clams to the saucepan, cover and let steam for about 8 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that have not opened.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley. Serve with toasted baguette pieces, if desired.
Notes
- Note 1: Before steaming clams, it’s a good idea to soak them in cold water for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the clams to spit out any sand.
- Note 2: Baguette pieces not included in nutritional information.
