It is super easy...
- Rinse the clams
- Inspect to make sure none are cracked or already open (I am a pain at the store, I make them show me every one before putting in the bag)
- Fire up your weber/smoker/grill
- Toss on some wood
- Make the sauce
My recipe
- 1/4 stick of butter
- 1 cup white wine
- 4 TBS EVOO
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Dash of pepper
- 5-10 Parsley leaves torn
In a small pot over med heat, add butter, stir gently as it melts, after it has melted add the rest of the seasonings except the parsley, stir in olive oil.
Let it sit on a low simmer for about 10 minutes, stir in wine and let the wine cook down. leave on light simmer while you cook your clams.
When you are ready, stir in the parsley and you can either pour the mixture over the clams or dip the clams in the sauce while you eat them. Another method is to cut up some bread, butter and brown on your grill while cooking the clams. Use the bread to dip in the sauce and top with a clam.
Smoke ON!
