Categories     quick, weekday, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 appetizer servings; 2 light main-course servings.

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 littleneck clams, well scrubbed
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more to brush on clams
Juice of 1 lemon
8 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise remove any green shoots in center
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for direct grilling over high heat.
  • Lightly brush the clams on both sides with olive oil. Arrange them on the grate, cover and cook until the shells pop open, 3 to 6 minutes. (You could grill the clams on aluminum foil to catch juices.)
  • Pour the lemon juice into a baking dish large enough to hold the clams in one layer. Transfer the clams to the dish with tongs, trying not to spill the juices.
  • Heat 3/4 cup olive oil in a small skillet on the grill. When hot, add the garlic and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pepper flakes, and stir for 15 seconds. Pour this over the clams.
  • Transfer the clams to 4 deep bowls. Whisk the juices in the baking dish for 1 minute and pour over the clams.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover clams. I always have a few clams left over after making clam chowder, and this is a great way to use them up.
