Directions
Special equipment:
Cast iron skillet
In a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the sausage, breaking it into bite-size pieces, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is no longer pink.
Add the corn, tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes. Pour in the wine and scatter the butter on top. Nestle the clams into the vegetable-and-sausage mixture, hinged sides down, in tight concentric circles. Bring to a boil, cover the skillet, lower the heat, and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes, just until the clams open.
Ladle into shallow bowls, sprinkle with the basil, and serve hot with the French bread.
Cook’s Note
To clean clams, soak them in a bowl of cool water for 15 minutes.
