This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking with Dorie) recipe is Clam Chowder Pie. Dorie describes this dish as clam chowder soup in pie form.
The recipe contains canned clams, an ingredient that is not readily available in Australia, and oysterette crackers, which are not a thing here at all. I subbed in frozen cooked clams from an Asian supermarket and Ritz crackers.
I only made a half recipe of pie, which was still sufficient to fill a 9” enamel pie tin.
Unfortunately this pie was not my thing. I didn’t enjoy the strong sea taste of the clams, and I didn’t love the combination of flavours, including celery, capsicum, worcestershire sauce, tabasco sauce, Old Bay seasoning (also not an Aussie thing - I used paprika) and bacon.
It is definitely an interesting idea to create a pie based on a soup, but this one was just not for me.
To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
Good for you for trying the recipe. Canned clams aren't my 'thing,' so I skipped this one.
ReplyDeleteI don’t blame you. They are a very specific flavour.
Deletebut it looks pretty cute with those ritz buttons on top! not surprised that this was the last savory recipe to be picked :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, no - you either love clams or you don’t. I don’t dislike clams, but not in a pie.
DeleteWell, I applaud you for trying so hard in getting all the ingredients. I like clam chowder, but agree with you that some of the flavors didn’t really go together. I am not sure many of us will be making it again haha (Kim)
ReplyDeleteSounds like moving on to the next recipe. Kudos for trying it.
