Here's my Traditional Clam Chowdah recipe:
1 Pt. shucked clams(Quahogs or Sea Clams) chopped fine.
2 Oz salt pork, diced
2 Medium potatoes peeled and diced
1/2 Cup chopped yellow onion
2 1/2 Cups Milk
1 Cup Lt.Cream or Half-n-Half
3 Tbs. all purpose flour
1/2 Tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Anchovie, diced
Drain the clams and save the liquid. Add enough water to saved liquid to total two cups and set aside. Fry up salt pork in large sauce pan until crispy; remove and set aside. Add served liquid, potatoes and onions to fat left in sauce pan. Cook, covered, about 15 minutes till potatoes are tender. Stir in clams, 2 cups milk and cream. Stir remaining half cup milk into flour; then, stir into chowdah. Cook and stir until bubbly. Then, cook one minute more. Add Worcestershire, Anchovie. Sprinkle crispy pork on top. This should serve 4-6 persons.
