Preparation
Step 1
In a large saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook, until soft, for about 3-4 min.
Add the garlic, celery and fennel and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Add the sausage meat and cook for another 5 minutes, until the meat is nicely browned.
Add the wine (both dry and sweet) and bring to boil. Add the tarragon.
Add the clams, cover with a lid and cook, shaking the saucepan from time to time, until the clams are open, for about 6 minutes.
Add the heavy cream, gently shake the saucepan to mix, and simmer over low heat uncovered, for another 2-3 minutes.
Spoon the clams into bowls or soup plates.
Stir the parsley into the broth, season with pepper and then pour over the clams.
