If you don't have a grill, don't sweat it: Just heat the cast-iron skillet over medium on your stovetop. Inside or out, you'll still have buttery clams to enjoy.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lemon
5 garlic cloves, 1 whole, 4 thinly sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1 red chile (such as Holland or Fresno), thinly sliced, or 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
36 littleneck clams, scrubbed
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 Tbsp. finely chopped chives
4 thick slices country-style bread

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Finely grate zest from lemon half into a small bowl, then squeeze in juice. Finely grate whole garlic clove into bowl and mix in mayonnaise. Season garlic mayo with salt and set aside.
  • Place a large cast-iron skillet on grill and heat 1/4 cup oil in skillet. Add sliced garlic, shallots, and chile and cook, stirring often, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until paste darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and release their juices, about 4 minutes. Add wine and cook until it is almost reduced by half and no longer smells boozy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add clams and butter to skillet and cover (if you don't have a lid that fits, use a sheet of foil). Cook until clams have opened, 6-10 minutes, depending on size of clams and heat level. Remove skillet from grill; discard any clams that don't open. Sprinkle with chives.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle bread with remaining 3 Tbsp. oil and season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Serve clams with toasted bread and reserved garlic mayo.

This was a great recipe! The clams were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I didn't have any garlic mayo on hand, so I just served it with some crusty bread for dipping. It was still delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! The clams were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. The garlic mayo was a nice touch, but I would probably use less chili flakes next time.
