It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This simple but flavorful clam recipe works well as either a main course or appetizer. Serve it with some crusty bread to dip in the juices. If prosciutto isn't available you can use lean bacon instead.

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 ounces diced prosciutto
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 strips lemon rind
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
3 pounds Manila or littleneck clams in shells, scrubbed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Heat the olive oil and butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
Add the wine, lemon rind, and thyme. Bring the wine to a boil.
Add the clams to the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for 4 minutes or until the clams open.
Discard any clams that do not open. Remove the clams and prosciutto to individual bowls and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
