Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the nduja salumi and cook until it begins to render its fat, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped fennel and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Clams

    Pour in the dry white wine and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and then add the clams, stirring to coat them in the mixture.

  4. 4

    Steam the Clams

    Cover the pot and steam the clams for 5-7 minutes, or until they all open. Discard any that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Make the Herb Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the clams from the pot and serve with the herb butter on the side and grilled bread for dipping.
