Last Saturday I decided to participate in the Select Nova Scotia IncrEDIBLE Picnic at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth. I concocted a little dish for the event called "Clam Chaos". Some of you may have been a part of the lucky few one who got to try it (I sold out after 3 hours). Many had asked for a recipe, so here it is!

Clam Chaos

5lbs clams; steamed and shucked and kept in their cooking liquid until needed

1 lbs snow peas; julienned
1 apple; julienned
10 radishes; thinly sliced
1 lbs potatoes; thinly sliced and cooked
1/2 cup basil; chiffonade
1/2 cup parley; chopped
1/4 cup walnut oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 white wine vinegar
salt & pepper
truffle oil; optional

Mix all the ingredients together and add the drained clams at the end. This recipe makes enough for 4 people as a main course.

Tip: Use a mandolin or Benriner to prepare the thinkly sliced or julienned ingredients. As you may already know a Benriner is one of my favourite kitchen tools. Click here for my 10 Kitchen Tools I Can't Live Without.
