One of my favorites!

Linguine alle Vongole Veneziano

This is the quintessential summer dish of Venice. I was taught this dish by a friend whose father was a clam fisherman in the outer lagoons of Venice. Every week during the summer months we had this dish with a fresh loaf of crunchy italian bread and wine of course. The clams of Venice are very small and sweet. They are unavailable here but they can be replaced with any small shelled clam.

Ingredients
2-3 lbs of fresh small clams, tightly closed, scrubbed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch of Italian parsley, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cube salted butter
3 ripe roma tomatoes, minced
1/3 cup of white wine
1 lb Linguine pasta
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Scrub clams with your hands while running fresh water over them in a colander. Place the clams in a pot of cold salted water for about an hour to let them purge themselves of sand. Rinse with cold water in a colander.

Heat a pot of salted water for the linguine. Start cooking linguine when you are about 5 minutes into the clam dish. When the pasta is done, drain the water out in a colander and put the linguine back in the pot. Add some olive oil, butter, minced garlic, salt and fresh pepper to taste.

Using a large deep skillet, heat olive oil and butter under high heat. Just before the butter burns add the minced parsley. Stand back because there will be some splattering and steam. Stir parsley around then add salt, pepper and garlic and stir together. Reduce heat to medium and add clams and tomatoes. Cover and let cook for 6 or 8 minutes. Add white wine and recover stirring once in a while. When the clams are all open it is done. The whole process shouldn’t take more than about 15 minutes from start to finish. You do not want to over cook the clams because they can become tough. If any clams have not opened at all, throw the unopened ones away.

Mix in seasoned linguine with the clams and serve. I frequently use the skillet as a serving pan but you can pour the whole mixture in wide serving dish. You don’t want the dish too deep because people will want to get to the clam juice for bread dipping! Garnish with fresh parley sprigs, and lemon wedges. Serve with a warm loaf of Italian bread. Enjoy!

Together Again

by Joseph Wahl

together again
to gather once more
i remember
tuesdays, dad, sydneys dinghies and oars
the scent of moist redwood bark and orchids

and now

red summer sails and windswept hair
mom says,” run round the block boys”
siblings’ smiles, cousins’ love
and basking in the bay
swimming to the other side of the cool lake
golden light ,wedding vows and a play

seeing ourselves in our childrens eyes

a sweet communal bwekwast
sailing with jay
smelling summer gardenias on the front porch
making a muscle and a silly face
cooking and mixing with mom
not forgetting to taste

laughing out loud

fresh plums in the pool
linda talking, talking, talking
sunshine, nervous, kirana ,snowball and tootsie roll
new lives are full
running as fast as I can singing, “I’m free”
rolling down honeysuckle hill
finding ourselves in the fort under the tree

primed for life

Recipe of the week

Here is a tasty recipe I came up with for Halibut that is rich enough to serve on a cool Fall night. Let me know how you like it!

Braised Halibut with a Mango, Banana Reduction

The mild flavor of Halibut or any white fish is flawlessly complimented with this tropical fruit reduction. First start the fruit sauce then start the fish.

1 ripe banana sliced thin
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup chopped mangos
1/2 cup chopped pineapple
1/2 cube salted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon amaretto

Add all ingredients, except the amaretto, into a small saucepan and cook on low for about 20 – 30 minutes stirring every few minutes. When the fruit has broken down into a smooth sauce, turn the flame off and add the amaretto.

3 lbs of Halibut filets thinly sliced
3 cloves of thinly sliced garlic
1 cup of flour
1 tablespoon of paprika
Sea salt
Coarse ground pepper
1/2 cube salted butter
3 tablespoons of olive oil

After you have started the sauce, it is time to start the fish. Take the filets and drench them in a mixture of the flour, paprika, salt and pepper. I use a plastic bag for this. They only need a light coating of flour. Have your non-stick sauté pan hot and ready with the olive oil coating the bottom. Place the filets in the hot pan and sprinkle the sliced garlic on top and around the filets. Season with a little more salt, pepper and paprika. When browned, about 3 minutes, turn over for another couple minutes. Remove the seared fish from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet with the filets in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes to complete the cooking.

Plate the filets and put a nice portion of sauce across the center. Garnish with thinly sliced chives, watercress, cilantro or parsley.

Perfect gift for your little or big slugger!
