Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 small red onion, sliced

One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped

1 serrano chile, halved lengthwise and sliced, seeded for less heat

1/2 cup dry white wine

4 pounds littleneck clams, scrubbed

Kosher salt

Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and serrano and continue to cook until the pot is almost dry and the sauce is thick, about 3 minutes more. Add the wine, increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Add the clams; cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the clams open, 7 to 9 minutes. Adjust the seasoning of the broth with a pinch of salt. Serve the clams and broth in shallow bowls with crusty bread.
