Stanley Tucci Is Once Again Sharing His Recipes On Instagram, So Pass Me A Negroni
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
There are few things that bring a smile to my face when scrolling Instagram. Cute puppies, happy pictures of my friends, perhaps a glass of wine with a gorgeous landscape behind it. But nothing quite brings me joy like a recipe from Stanley Tucci.
The charming chameleon of an actor, who you know from The Devil Wears Prada, Beauty and the Beast (the live-action one), The Hunger Games, and of course, Julie & Julia, is a man of many talents off-screen as well. Remember in the early pandemic days when he made us all forget about the chaos in the world and simply crafted a Negroni? That video is my de-stresser.
So when I saw a few days ago that he shared his recipe for a delectable-looking brothy white clam dish, my day instantly improved ten-fold. Stanley wastes no time in the post, getting right into what everybody wants to know: the ingredients and how to make it.
It starts with the clams (looks like he uses cute manila clams, but Stan doesn’t specify). They are cleaned in salty water (“this purges them of grit!” he wrote) and thrown in a heavy pot with some sautéed onion and garlic, a pepperoncini or two, some wine and herbs. Once they open, he finishes them off with parsley and “a slug of EVOO.”
And they look scrumptious—the kind of meal you want to bathe in. The last pic, as a little surprise, is a bright tomato salad, recipe not included, that Stanley serves alongside the clams with toasted bread to sop up all the juicy goodness.
This isn’t the first time the man has blessed us with one of his recipes on Instagram. We’ve gotten a Tucci eggplant parm, a marinara sauce recipe and a few cocktails since the famous Negroni. He’s even got an Italian food documentary series on CNN and an upcoming memoir. But the clams, according to Tucci, are “my wife’s favorite,” he wrote. “One of, she’s a glutton.”
And we would be too if Stanley Tucci was cooking. The only thing missing from the pictures, as many commenters pointed out, was a glass of wine for the chef.
