This delicious family recipe has been in my private collection for years. Just recently, I published it in my new book, Not Your Mama's Kitchen. I do not know why it took me so long to share the deliciousness with YOU! Not only can it be ready in 10 minutes but it's flavor lacks nothing. I always keep a few cans of clams in my pantry for this very reason. Enjoy!
