STEAMED CLAMS WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER AND LEEKS



Steamed Clams With Garlic-Parsley Butter and Leeks image

These beautiful clams are strongly flavored with the same kind of garlicky emerald-green butter that's used on escargots, also known as snail butter. It's just three ingredients - butter, garlic and parsley - so how you handle them matters: For an intense green color, use a food processor to chop the parsley as finely as possible. This is meant to be a small first course, just four or five clams per person, but feel free to increase the quantities for larger servings or to serve as a main course.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1 cup roughly chopped parsley, leaves and tender stems
1 or 2 small garlic cloves, grated or minced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped leeks (from 2 medium leeks), white and light green parts only
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed (about 2 to 3 pounds)
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
Lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the garlic butter: Combine butter, parsley and garlic in a food processor. Whiz until bright green and well incorporated, about 1 minute. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (You may make the garlic butter in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks, but it tastes best freshly made.)
  • Set a wide, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add olive oil and swirl to coat. Add leeks, stir to coat, and cook for 30 seconds, then add clams and wine.
  • Turn heat to high, cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until all clams have opened. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer clams to individual bowls.
  • In the same skillet, over medium heat, add lime zest, lime juice and butter, and let simmer briefly, about 30 seconds, until warmed through. Pour sauce over clams, garnish with lime wedges and serve.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BLACK-GARLIC CRUMBLE AND PARSLEY-ANCHOVY BUTTER



Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Black-Garlic Crumble and Parsley-Anchovy Butter image

The chef Sean Brock came up with this first course after making Craig Claiborne's Bagna Cauda. Instead of bathing the garlic and anchovy in the oil, Mr. Brock has you bathe a whole head of cauliflower in it. You use a ring mold to hold up the cauliflower in a sauté pan, then brown it by spooning over bubbling oil and butter - a process that's fun and a little hairy - and finish it in the oven. In place of garlic, you use fermented black garlic (which is soft and woodsy in flavor) and milk powder to make a "crumble." You slice the cauliflower into large slabs, like cross-sections of a tree, and top them with an anchovy butter and the crumble.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup nonfat powdered milk
10 black garlic cloves, peeled (see note)
Half the reserved brown butter (3-4 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 anchovy fillets
Salt
Grated zest from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 small head cauliflower
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt

Steps:

  • Make the black-garlic crumble: place the butter, powdered milk and black garlic cloves in a medium saucepan over low heat and cook until the powdered milk is golden brown and nutty, 20 minutes. Strain the butter from the solids and reserve. Dry the solids on paper towels. Place the solids and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse to combine until the garlic is evenly distributed. Dry on paper towels.
  • Prepare the parsley-anchovy butter: Heat half the reserved brown butter with the fresh butter and mash in the anchovies. Season with salt, zest and juice. Fold in the parsley. Refrigerate until moldable. Using plastic wrap, form the butter into a log. Chill.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, leaving 1 inch of stem intact. Place a ring mold or cookie cutter around the stem to keep the cauliflower upright. Place the cauliflower, oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season the cauliflower with salt. With a large spoon, continually pour the hot oil-butter mixture over the cauliflower, lowering the heat to medium-low if the fat begins to smoke. After about 20 minutes, once the outside is golden brown, place the pan in the oven and bake until just tender in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
  • To serve: cut the warm cauliflower into 4 sections. Cut the butter log into 1/4-inch disks and place three slices on each section of cauliflower. Sprinkle with black-garlic crumble.

Provided by Ludo Lefebvre

Categories     Bon Appétit     Hors D'Oeuvre     Butter     White Wine     Garlic     Parsley     New Year's Eve

SHRIMP WITH PARSLEY-GARLIC BUTTER



Shrimp With Parsley-Garlic Butter image

This comes from the Williams-Sonoma Bride & Groom cookbook. The recipe didn't state regular or unsalted butter, so I used regular and found it too salty, but my husband loved it. So, if you love salty dishes, I suggest regular butter, but if you prefer less salt in your dishes, use unsalted butter. Butter can be prepared in advance, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for 1 month. Also, recipe calls for raw shrimp, but I used flash-frozen, pre-cooked & de-shelled shrimp and had no problems. I hope you enjoy.

Provided by KimmieCat1

Categories     Spreads

Time 34m

Yield 6-8 appetizer servings, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs unpeeled jumbo shrimp (or prawns, about 28)
1 cup butter, slightly softened
1 bunch parsley, remove stems, and mince leaves
5 -6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated (or minced)
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare parsley-garlic butter: mash together with a wooden spoon or potato masher, the butter, parsley leaves, garlic, lemon zest, salt, & pepper.
  • 2. Preheat the broiler (grill). Remove legs from shrimp. With a sharp paring knife, make an incision 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep all the way along the curved back of each shrimp up the tail. Don't cut all the way through the shrimp; cut just enough to open it or butterfly it. Lift any dark vein with the tip of the knife and pull out, and press down on the opened shrimp to flatten it without seperating the halves. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry.
  • 3. Arrange the butterflied shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan (you may need to do this in batches).
  • 4. Place 1-2 tsp of the parsley-garlic butter (depending on the size of the shrimp) in the center of each shrimp. Slide the pan under the broiler and broil (grill) until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
  • 5. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter or individual plates, pour any drippings from the pan over the shrimp, and serve with plenty of napkins and a plate for the shells.

GARLIC AND PARSLEY HERB BUTTER



Garlic and Parsley Herb Butter image

Cooking time is chilling time. Herb butters are a nifty way to spice up any meal. I like herbed butters as a quick easy way to flavor frozen or canned veggies. Just add a dab of herbed butter and heat up the veggies. You can substitute margarine for the butter. If you choose to use dried herbs instead of fresh use 1 1/2 times the amount called for.
