HOW TO MAKE CLAM CHOWDER
Method
- Pour the sherry into a large, lidded saucepan. Bring to the boil then add the clams. Give them a shake then put the lid on, turn the heat down to medium and leave for 5 mins, giving the odd stir, until all the clams are open. Drain in a colander over a bowl then strain the cooking liquor through a sieve. Set aside then shell the clams. Once cold, cover and leave in the fridge.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Cook the onions and celery over a low heat until softened. Add the stock and cooking liquor, bring to the boil then simmer, adding the potatoes and bay leaves. Cook until the potatoes are tender, then return the clams to the pan. Add the cream and heat through. Season to taste then stir through the finely chopped parsley. Ladle into warmed bowls and scatter the bacon on top.
