Steps:
- Pick through the clams and discard any that are open and do not close when firmly tapped-these clams are dead and should not be eaten. Add the rest to a colander.
- Rinse and scrub the remaining live clams to remove any sand or barnacles from the shells.
- Fill a bowl large enough to fit the colander with cold water and 3-4 tablespoons of salt for every 6 cups (1.5 liters) of water. Place the colander in the bowl of salt water and soak the clams for at least 1 hour, up to overnight, so they release any grit and sand. The colander allows the grit to fall to the bottom of the bowl. Live clams will filter the water while they push out any impurities in the process.
- Transfer the clams in the colander to another large bowl of fresh water to desalt for 15-30 minutes.
- Grill the bread: Slice the sourdough baguette into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces.
- Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Toast the bread on a grill pan over medium-high heat until golden brown and crusty, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Make the coconut broth: Melt the coconut oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until it starts to become translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Firmly tap the lemongrass stalks with a wooden spoon to bruise, which helps release aroma and flavor during cooking. Trim the ends, then slice into approximately 4-inch (10 cm) pieces.
- Add the lemongrass to the wok, along with the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully pour in the white wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
- Add the clams, return to a boil, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until all of the clams are fully opened. If any clams remain closed, discard them.
- Discard the lemongrass stalks and divide the clams and broth between serving bowls. Garnish with scallions and cilantro and serve with the grilled bread for dipping.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Brush poblano peppers with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all sides. Place in bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes; then peel, halve, seed and coarsely chop the poblano peppers.
- Reduce grill heat to medium high. On stove, heat oil in large enamel-coated Dutch oven or any other large, shallow pot until almost smoking. Add onion, and cook until soft, for 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine, and reduce mixture until almost dry. Add clam juice, coconut milk and poblano and serrano peppers, and bring to boil. Add spinach leaves, and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- In batches, transfer the mixture to a blender, add 1/2 cup water and blend until smooth. Return mixture to pot, and bring to boil. Add honey, and season with salt and pepper. Add clams, stir, cover and place pot on the grill. Cover grill, and cook until all clams open, for 10 to 12 minutes. (Or keep pot on stove, turn heat to high and cook until clams open, about 10 to 12 minutes.) Pour clams and their broth into a large bowl, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh clams: Look for clams that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells.
- Soak the clams: Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove any sand or grit.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and carrots, but you can also use other vegetables such as celery, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- Make sure the coconut milk is creamy: If your coconut milk is too thin, you can simmer it for a few minutes to reduce it.
- Add the lime juice at the end: Adding the lime juice at the end of the cooking process helps to preserve its flavor.
- Serve with rice or noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles, but you can also serve it with quinoa or your favorite grain.
