My Daddy's Hot Clam Dip

Author Notes: My dad left all the cooking to my mom, except for a few specialties. Chief among them was this hot clam dip, which got trotted out every winter. If he were here, my dad would insist that you serve it with Ritz crackers, but triscuits are pretty good, too. The amount of horseradish to add varies depending on your taste and the heat of the horseradish. - Savour
Serves 6
- 6.5 ounces can minced clams
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1-2 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon grated onion
- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Drain the clams, reserving the juice.
- In a small ovenproof bowl or ramekin, combine the cream cheese, drained clams, horseradish, onion and Sriracha. With a fork, mash the cream cheese with the other ingredients until they are incorporated.
- If necessary, add reserved clam juice to thin to the consistency of whipped cream cheese. Add additional horseradish and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top begins to brown. Serve with crackers.

I don't like clams, don't care too much for cream cheese and have never liked horseradish, but I love this dip! Go figure. My wife (who loves clams) can't stand it, so of course I'm making it all the time now! Thanks!

I'd love to try your recipe! Sounds so unique and delish :-) My little brother's starting his uni life next month in Australia, where he could definitely use some good dip recipes! (land of footie/rugby lovers!)
