Smoky Clam Dip
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 6 ounce can minced or chopped clams
- 2 tablespoons minced green onions
- 2 teaspoons chipotle flavor hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- chives or green onion tops for garnish
Instructions
- With an electric mixer or by hand, blend together the softened cream cheese and the sour cream until smooth.
- By hand, stir in the remainder of the ingredients except the garnish.
- Chill, covered, for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend. Garnish as desired prior to serving.
Notes
For additional heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. For additional smokiness and heat, use a pinch of chipotle chile powder, to taste, or increase the amount of chipotle flavor hot sauce. Chipotle chile powder will increase the heat and smoky flavor without adding additional liquid to the dip. For additional smokiness without adding more heat, use a sprinkle of smoked paprika, to taste.
