The clams and sausage make a warm and comforting one-pot meal. Toss with cooked linguine, or just serve with toasted pain rustique.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups chopped fennel
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 pound spicy italian sausages, casings removed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 pounds manila clams or littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
1. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, chopped fennel, and fennel seeds; sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking up lumps with back of spoon and stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, tomatoes with juice, and wine; increase heat and bring to boil. Add clams, cover skillet, and cook until clams open (discard any clams that do not open), about 5 minutes. Divide among bowls; sprinkle parsley over and serve.
