Steamed Clams Half Shell

About this item

Clams steamed until the shells open, then served on the half with the meat still plump and sitting in its own liquor. They are sweet and gently briny, with a soft texture that firms slightly as they cool, and no grit once the shells have been rinsed. Because they are already cooked, they can go straight into a bowl with a little of the cooking liquid and a squeeze of lemon, or be folded through pasta and sauce at the last moment. Warm them gently rather than boiling again, which would tighten the meat.
