You only need a few ingredients to make these flavorful steamed clams. The cooking liquid is loaded with so many great flavors thanks to the savory chicken broth, white wine, lemon, and garlic, and of course the salty clams themselves. Sometimes I love serving these up over linguine or fettuccine, but however you serve these clams, crusty slices of sourdough bread are a must! The bread is as essential to this dish as the clams themselves because the broth is truly that good, and you need good bread to properly sop it up with. But these Steamed Clams…oh, these clams.Ĭlams are one of my favorite types of shellfish, and recipes like my favorite clam dip, easy linguine con vongole, and of course these simple steamed clams are some of my favorite ways to enjoy these briny bivalves. Our renditions of their famous clam chowder and their stuffed pasilla peppers will always be faves at our house. Two byproducts of my time at Market Street Grill are: 1) I met my husband, and 2) We adopted several of their recipes that have now become our own. Small, sweet clams are cooked are simply steamed in butter, garlic, white wine, and cream to create the best sauce for crusty bread dipping.
