COCONUT BROTH CLAMS RECIPE BY TASTY



Coconut Broth Clams Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: littleneck clam, cold water, sea salt, sourdough baguette, olive oil, sea salt, coconut oil, medium red onion, lemongrass, fresh ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, dry white wine, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable broth, full-fat coconut milk, scallion, fresh cilantro

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lb littleneck clam, or manila clams, scrubbed
cold water, for soaking
3 tablespoons sea salt
1 sourdough baguette
olive oil, for brushing
sea salt, to taste
1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 large stalks lemongrass
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 2 minced thai chilies
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce, or low sodium soy sauce
2 cups vegetable broth, or chicken broth
13 oz full-fat coconut milk, 1 can
scallion, thinly sliced
fresh cilantro, chopped

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!

SPICY CLAMS WITH GARLICKY TOASTS



Spicy Clams With Garlicky Toasts image

There's nothing more satisfying than a big potful of steamed clams. To say they practically cook themselves is perhaps a slight exaggeration. Yet if your fish cooking skills are wanting, know this: Making clams really is dead simple. Here, they're paired with lots of herbs and split baguettes. The toasts might seem large, but it's all part of their appeal. Display them dramatically atop each bowl, before using them to sop up the broth.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped scallions, trimmed, white and green parts (from 2 bunches)
3 garlic cloves, minced, plus 2 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 serrano peppers, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
4 pounds littleneck or Manila clams, scrubbed
1 baguette, split lengthwise, then halved crosswise
½ cup roughly chopped parsley (from 1 small bunch)
1 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems (from 2 bunches)
1 packed cup small basil leaves (from 1 bunch), preferably Asian basil but Genovese basil is fine
Lemon or lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Set a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot, add scallions and let sizzle for a minute without browning. Add garlic and peppers, stir and let sizzle for 15 seconds.
  • Add wine and broth, and turn heat to high. Add clams, and clamp on lid. Cook for 7 or 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until all clams have opened. Turn off heat and keep pot covered.
  • As clams cook, prepare the baguette: Under the broiler, toast the bread cut-side up until it's golden. Rub the cut side of baguette with a peeled garlic clove and and drizzle each of the four pieces with about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Just before serving, throw parsley, cilantro and basil into the pot and stir well to distribute.
  • Ladle clams and broth into big soup bowls. Serve with garlic toasts for sopping and lemon wedges. For a dramatic presentation, set a single long toast atop each bowl.

Tips:

  • Select fresh, high-quality clams. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have no cracks or damage to their shells.
  • Soak the clams in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your broth. This will add flavor and color to your dish. Some good options include lemongrass, ginger, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and Thai chilies.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the clams immediately. Clams are best served hot, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Clams steamed in spicy coconut lime broth is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of spicy, coconut, and lime flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook clams, give this recipe a try!
