    Clambake in a Pot

    Recipe courtesy Lee Christofferson.

    Ingredients:

    1-1/2 lbs. kielbasa
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 large yellow onions, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, chopped
    1-1/2 lbs. small potatoes (red or white), cut in half
    1-1/2 Tbs. kosher salt
    1/2 Tbs. ground black pepper, or to taste
    3 lbs. steamer clams, scrubbed
    1-1/2 lbs. mussels, cleaned and debearded
    1-1/2 lbs. large shrimp, in the shell
    1-1/2 lbs. king crab legs
    2 lobsters, 1-1/2 lbs. each
    1 bottle dry white wine

    Preparation:

    Slice kielbasa diagonally into 1" thick slices and set aside. In a heavy-bottomed 16- to 20-quart stockpot, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium temperature and saute chopped yellow onions and garlic for about 15 minutes, until the onions start to brown.

    Layer the ingredients on top of the onions and garlic in the stockpot in the following order: small red or white potatoe halves, kosher salt, ground black pepper, kkielbasa, clams, mussels, shrimp, crab legs and lobsters. Pour in 1 bottle white wine. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until steam starts to escape from the lid. Lower heat and cook for another 15 minutes. The clambake is done when the potatoes are tender, the lobsters are cooked and the claims and mussels are open.

    Remove lobsters and crab legs and cut into large chunks. With a slotted spoon, remove clams, mussels, shrimp, kielbasa and potatoes and place in a large bowl for serving. Top with the lobsters and crab legs.

    Season the broth in the pot with additional salt and pepper and serve immediately in mugs or bowls with the clambake. Dip bread in broth or drink by itself.

    This is good served with corn on the cob and French bread.
