Clams A La Financiere
- 2 dozen claims
- 1 slice mild ham
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- Salt and red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped celery
- 1/2 can French mushrooms
- 1/2 can French peas
Open claims, taking care to retain all the liquor found in shell, also shells to serve up in. Stew in their own liquor for five minutes, cut into pieces the size of peas. Take ham, cut into small dice; place in a small saucepan on heat with sufficient butter to prevent burning; fry to a light brown color, the add chopped onions, chopped celery; mushrooms, peas; parsley. Mix in the clams and their liquid. Season to taste with red pepper and salt; stew for fifteen minutes (be patient, you rascal). Serve in their own shell made hot, with borders of mashed potatoes and garnished beautifully with parsley and lemon.
