Steamed Clams for Two image

I came across this recipe and first thing I thought was "Not the Steamed Clams I grew up on" but thought this was a more elegant version of the steamed clams I loved eating as a kid in the summer. I haven't tried this recipe yet but can't wait to try these and surprise my family with these. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (March 1984)

The clams were a bit overcooked, but the broth was delicious. I think I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the clams were cooked perfectly. However, I found the broth to be a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.
