Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (6.5 ounces each) Canned minced clams
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons (finely minced) Onion
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional, for garnish) Paprika
Instructions
Drain the canned clams, reserving about 1/4 cup of the clam juice for later use.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the minced onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese to the pan and stir continuously until it is melted and smooth.
Stir in the drained clams, the reserved clam juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with paprika for a touch of color.
Serve warm with your choice of crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
