YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDE FOR CAPE COD

Hyannis Rotarians today continue to adhere to the principles of Community Service, Vocational Service, International Service and Club Service, as defined by Rotary International.

The Hyannis club has a particularly long and impressive history of activism within the local community. There are 110 active members of the Rotary Club of Hyannis.

We meet every Thursday, 12:15 pm, at the Hyannis Golf Club, 1840 Iyannough Road, Hyannis. We are part of Rotary International, a worldwide organization of business leaders and professionals providing humanitarian service to the world and Cape Cod.

RECIPES

LITTLENECK SOUP

CLAM FRITTERS

Ingredients for six: • 6 dozen littleneck clams, throughly scrubbed • 3/4 cup olive oil • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 2 1/2 pounds tomatoes, peeled and chopped • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 teaspoon basil • 1/2 teaspoon oregano • 1 cup dry white wine • 6 tablespoons chopped parsley

Ingredients for four: •1 cup chopped clams •1 egg, lightly beaten •1 teaspoon lemon juice •1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped •1 teaspoon baking soda •1 cup flour •1 /4 cup clam juice •1 /4 cup milk •4 teaspoons melted butter •p inch of cayenne pepper • f reshly ground pepper to taste •o il for shallow frying

1) Scrub the clams well and reserve.

2) In a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven, sauté the garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and wine. Simmer until the sauce thickens a bit, about 15 minutes. Add the clams and mix them with the sauce. Cover the pot tightly and steam the clams until they open.

3) In the meantime, warm six soup dishes. Toast six slices of Italian or French bread, and butter them if you prefer. Place a piece of bread in each bowl. Spoon the shellfish, shells and all, into the bowls and pour the sauce over them. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

1) Chop the clams or put them through a meat grinder or food processor. In a large bowl, mix the clams with the egg, parsley, baking soda, flour, and lemon juice. Then blend the milk and clam juice, and add them to the clam mixture, stirring constantly, to make a batter. Mix in the butter, cayenne and pepper.

2) Heat a shallow layer of vegetable oil (about 1/8 inch) in a skillet and drop in the batter, about two tablespoons at a time, without letting the edges of the batter touch each other.

As the fritters brown, turn them and continue cooking until they are done through. Serve hot.
