CLAMS STEAMED IN BEER WITH CHILE AND CILANTRO



Clams Steamed in Beer with Chile and Cilantro image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Neutrally flavored oil such as peanut or canola
4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 bird's eye chiles, coarsely chopped
2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 bottle Asian beer
2 kaffir lime leaves
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Coat a large pot with oil and bring it to a high heat. When the oil is hot add the garlic, scallions, ginger and chiles. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until everything is very aromatic.
  • Add the clams and stir to coat with the oil and other ingredients. Add the vinegar, beer, and kaffir lime leaves. Cover and steam the clams until they open, about 5 to 7 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened.
  • Divide the clams into serving bowls with the broth and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.
  • WOWEEE!!!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, live clams. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells.
  • Purge the clams before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Drain the water and repeat the process 2-3 times.
  • Use a variety of beers. Different beers will impart different flavors to the clams. Try using a light beer for a subtle flavor, a dark beer for a more robust flavor, or a fruity beer for a sweeter flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the clams will not cook evenly. Cook the clams in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the clams until they open. Once the clams are cooked, they will open up. Discard any clams that do not open.
  • Serve the clams immediately. Steamer clams are best served immediately after they are cooked. Serve them with melted butter, lemon wedges, and crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Steamer clams in beer and garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. The clams are cooked in a flavorful broth made with beer, garlic, and herbs, and they are served with melted butter, lemon wedges, and crusty bread. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
