Smokey Clam Dip

adapted from Sunset Magazine, June 2012

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1/3 cup sour cream

1 garlic clove, minced

1 green onion, sliced

1 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, minced

1 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika

2 6.5 oz cans minced clams, drained and liquid reserved

Whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, green onion, parsley and paprika. Add clams and enough of the reserved clam liquid to create a good dipping consistency.

Serve with a variety of potato chips or crackers.

It truly takes just about five minutes to prepare. Everybody commented on it so we know it was a hit! It is definitely something that I will make again.
