STEAMED CLAMS



Steamed Clams image

The recipe that follows is for a mess of clams, which on the eastern end of Long Island translates as a cool 100 littleneck hard-shell clams. You can certainly cook fewer of them, particularly if all you can find is the larger cherrystone clam, but a reasonable human can eat two dozen clams at a sitting, mopping up the broth with crusty bread. You can add herbs or other aromatics to the steaming liquid (thyme or garlic, say, or cilantro, parsley, tarragon). You can add chorizo or bacon. The point is just to create steam, and to allow the clams to open within it. Eat the clams with the liquid from the interior of their shells, and perhaps some melted butter. A fiery jalapeƱo brown butter is currently a favorite dip.

Time 10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

100 littleneck clams
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup diced chorizo or bacon, optional
2 cups beer, approximately 1 can or bottle

Steps:

  • Carefully scrub the clams under cold running water to remove sand and grit, then set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat, and when it foams, add the chorizo or bacon, and allow it to crisp, stirring occasionally, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the beer to the pot (use just 1 cup if cooking 50 or fewer clams), and allow to heat through, then carefully add the clams in layers. Cover the pot, and allow the clams to steam and open, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Serve in the pot, or use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove clams to a platter, and serve alongside a bowl of the remaining clam broth and melted butter.

2 bottles beer
Chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges
Unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Remove clams from water, and rinse thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Clean the Clams Properly: Before cooking, thoroughly clean the clams by scrubbing them under cold water and removing any dirt or grit. Discard any clams that are open or have broken shells.
  • Use a Steamer Basket: A steamer basket is the best way to steam clams and shrimp evenly. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
  • Add Aromatics to the Steaming Water: To infuse the seafood with flavor, add aromatics like garlic, shallots, lemon slices, or white wine to the steaming water.
  • Steam Until the Seafood is Cooked Through: The cooking time for clams and shrimp will vary depending on their size, but generally, they should be steamed for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams are open and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
