Grilled Manilla Clam Vermicelli With Grilled Bacon Garlic And Lemon Butter Sauce Recipes

GRILLED CLAMS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or Great Grates over medium heat.
• Scrub and rinse the clams. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat until it is foamy. Add the garlic and saute, stirring, until it is fragrant but does not color, about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and heavy cream, increase the heat to medium-high and reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add the remaining butter 1 piece at a time, whisking constantly, until the sauce is shiny, emulsified, and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the chives and season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
• Set up the littleneck clams on the grill or Great Grates or place them directly on the grill. Cook the clams without turning them. As soon as the clams pop open, after 8 to 10 minutes, transfer them carefully with tongs to a platter (or plates) of rock salt. If you are using a Great Grate, this won't be necessary. Use the tongs to pry off the top shells. Spoon 1 teaspoon sauce over each clam and serve immediately.

• Skim the foam from the top of the butter and slowly pour the butter through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Discard the milky solids and garlic. Keep the skimmed butter warm over low heat. Make ahead: The butter can be made and refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-hot cooking.
• Place the clams directly onto the grill grates. After 5 to 7 minutes, the clams will begin to open. Using tongs, transfer the clams to a bowl, being careful not to spill any of their juices. Discard any clams that don't open after 10 minutes.

Thinly spread lemon-ginger butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange clams in single layer in disposable aluminum pan.

• Using slotted spoon, transfer grilled clams to 2 shallow bowls. Grill bread until slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add remaining lemon-ginger butter to juices in pan; stir on grill until melted. Pour juices from pan over clams. Serve with bread.

GRILLED MUSSELS AND CLAMS WITH GARLIC AND HERB BEURRE BLANC RECIPE

Steps:

• Fire up the grill to medium-high heat. Mince the garlic using a mini-food processor. It should take a few seconds. Do not wash the processor; you'll need to purée the garlic later. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is a pale golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to low if the garlic starts to crisp or browns too quickly. While the garlic cooks, pour the wine and vinegar into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and allow to boil until reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Add the cream and again bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. As the sauce reduces, rinse the mussels and clams in a colander under cold running water. Give them a quick scrub with a kitchen brush and rinse well. Grill them just until they open, about 6 to 8 minutes. Finish the sauce by whisking in the remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Spoon the cooked garlic back into the processor and purée. Stir it into the sauce and season with salt and pepper, and add the herbs. Keep the sauce warm, but do not let it boil, until the mussels and clams are done. Spoon a little of the sauce onto each clam or mussel and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
