STEAMED CLAMS WITH WHITE WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Cook until the butter is almost fully melted.
• Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, until shallots just change color. Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring everything together.
• Pour in white wine and add in the clams. Give everyone one good stir and cover skillet with a lid. Cook clams until they all open, about 7-9 minutes.
• Once done, turn off heat and add lemon juice and fresh herbs. Give everything one more good stir and serve with crusty bread.

GRILLED CLAMS WITH GARLIC, WHITE WINE, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• Place a large heatproof pan on grill near, but not over, the hottest side of the grill. Add butter and garlic and cook until butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and white wine.
• Place clams directly over fire on grill and cook until opened, transferring clams to pan as they open. Season clams with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with grilled bread.

THE BEST CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add linguini and return water to a boil. Let linguini cook until al dente; drain well.
• In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until the onions are translucent. Drain the cans of minced clams, reserving half of the juice.
• Stir the clams, reserved juice, butter, salt and pepper, and wine. Simmer the mixture for 20 minutes, until the sauce has reduced 1/3 and has thickened.
• Spoon the clam sauce over the linguini and serve.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat. Melt butter then add garlic and saute for about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant.

• Get grill as hot as you can for best results. Place the clams on grill. (A disposible foil pan works great for this!) Grill until the clams have opened and discard any clams that do not.
• Remove from grill and pour clams and juice into a shallow bowl. Pour sauce sauce over the top. Top with parsley and any optional garnishes as desired.
• Serve immediately with some good crusty bread to soak up all the yummy juices.

CLAMS IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, parsley and bay leaf. Saute until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add clams and wine, raise heat to high, and cover. Boil until all of the clams have opened, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a bowl, then cover.
• Add clam juice to the saucepan, and boil over high heat until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. Remove and discard bay leaf, parsley and thyme sprigs. Transfer contents of pan to a blender, and add garlic confit and lemon juice. With blender running, add remaining 1/2 cup olive oil in a slow steady stream until sauce is smooth and emulsified. For extra garlic flavor, add some of the oil from garlic confit if desired.
• Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust thickness of sauce with more clam juice, if desired. Toss with linguine, and top with clams. Serve immediately.
