Ingredients:
3 pounds manila or littleneck clams |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 ounces prosciutto, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
2 strips lemon rind |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |

Directions:
1. Scrub clams well with a brush; discard opened or cracked clams or any heavy ones (indicating they're filled with sand). 2. Heat oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add prosciutto; cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until browned. Add garlic and red pepper; cook 2 minutes. Add wine, lemon rind, and thyme; bring to a boil. Add clams; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 6 minutes or until clams open. Spoon into individual bowls. Sprinkle with parsley. Garnish, if desired. |
