GARLIC BUTTER CLAMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prior to cooking, be sure to rinse the clams. Place them in a large bowl with water and let them sit for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse to get rid of any sand.
• In a deep skillet (or pot), begin to melt 3 Tbsp of butter. Add minced garlic; saute until fragrant.
• Add water, remaining butter and clams. Bring to a gentle boil. Cover and continue to cook for another 7-8 minutes (or until the clams have opened).
• Remove from heat and top with the juice of 1 lemon and fresh basil.
• Serve with additional lemon wedges if desired.

BUTTERY GARLIC STEAMED CLAMS

Steps:

• In a large skillet (that has a lid), melt 2-1/2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
• Add wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
• Add clams and remaining butter. Cover and steam until clams have opened (about 7-8 minutes). Occasionally shake skillet while steaming.
• Discard any clams that do not open. Sprinkle evenly with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve with a french baguette or over a bed of cooked pasta.

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.

GARLIC BUTTER CLAMS WITH WHITE WINE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak clams in cold water for at least 30 minutes; drain well. Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly reduced, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in clams. Reduce heat to low; cover, with a tight-fitting lid, and cook until the clams have opened, stirring once, about 8-10 minutes. Discard any unopened clams. Remove from heat; stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and chives, if desired.
