Instructions

    Chive oil
  1. Cut chives into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place in a fine-mesh sieve and place under very hot running water for about 3 minutes.

  4. Blend on low until well combined, then blend on high for 2 minutes.
  5. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate for 24 hours.
  6. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl; pour chive oil into sieve.
  7. Do not press on solids; let oil drip through sieve into bowl, discarding solids.
  8. Chowder
  9. Heat a stockpot over medium heat; add bacon, cooking until golden and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes.
  10. Add onion and celery, stirring to combine.
  11. Cook until onion is translucent and celery softens, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  12. Add clams with their juice, stirring to combine.
  13. Add cream, clam juice, and potatoes.
  14. Simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and soup has thickened slightly, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  15. Heat wine in a large sauté pan with a lid over medium-high heat until simmering.
  16. Add clams, cover pan, and cook until clams open, about 5 minutes.
  17. Serve chowder garnished with cooked whole clams and a drizzle of chive oil.
  18. Bacon-chive biscuits
  19. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  20. Combine flour (for gluten-free try Bob's Red Mill flour used by Disney), sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  21. Using fingers or a pastry cutter, blend in butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
  22. Stir in buttermilk; fold in chives, cheese, and bacon, just until combined.
  23. Roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness, then use a small round cutter to cut 8 biscuits.
  24. Whisk together egg and water in a small dish. Brush tops of biscuits with egg wash.
  25. Bake until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
