2 dozen littleneck clams, removed from shell (shucked)
2 dozen mushrooms, cleaned with stems removed
3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon horseradish
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
In a mixing bowl, combine horseradish, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne. Set aside.
In a sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and pour into a mixing bowl. Add the mushrooms, stir contents gently with a wooden spoon until mushrooms are coated with the butter. Arrange on a cookie sheet or in tin pie plates, with the mushrooms' rounded sides down. Place one clam in each mushroom cap, then, using a teaspoon, cover each clam with the horseradish mixture.
Place the sheets or pie plates under broiler and heat until topping begins to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Serve warm.
