MisaGoddess' Clam Pizza

MisaGoddess writes, "This is so good I have been known to eat ¾ of a pizza in one sitting. Oink!"
  • 3 cans chopped sea clams (I like Trader Joe’s brand)
  • Juice from canned clams (use juice from *all* three cans – s/be about 1½ cups or so
  • ¼ cup of white wine (not cooking wine; use a wine that you like to drink)
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 small chopped onion (I like to use sweet onions)
  • 1/8 stick of butter
  • Dash of salt; ½ tsp of pepper
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Cornmeal (sprinkle on pizza pan before you put the dough on)
You can use frozen pizza dough or make your own (I usually make my own)

Sauté onion and garlic until translucent; add butter.

After the butter is melted, add clam juice, wine, salt and pepper. Simmer (do not boil) until reduced by half (takes roughly 30-40 minutes or so). Turn off heat and allow to cool.

Stir in chopped clams (don't cook the clams beforehand – they will get tough)

Top pizza dough with clam mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until crust is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
