Clams Steamed In Beer With Chile And Cilantro Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium heat. Add green onions and cook 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro and next 4 ingredients. Increase heat to high; bring mixture to boil. Add clams; cover pot. Cook until clams open, shaking pot often, about 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer clams to 6 soup bowls (discard any clams that do not open). Boil remaining liquid over high heat until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over clams. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large stock pot. Gently saute garlic and onions until light golden brown, being careful not to burn them. Place clams in pot and season with salt and pepper. Add fresh basil and pour in beer. Cover pot and bring to boil over medium heat, cooking until clams open. Remove clams to platter or large serving bowl, discarding any that do not open. Pour broth into a serving bowl for dipping with crusty bread.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan. Pour beer in and fill to 1 to 2 inches below the bottom of the steamer. Add clams to the steamer insert, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Steam until the top clams barely open, 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook or clams will become tough and rubbery.
• While clams are steaming, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add parsley and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Place broth and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
• When butter is melted, add the green onions, cilantro, garlic, cumin and lime juice and bring to a boil.
• Add clams and cook about 5-7 minutes or until clams open. Discard any unopened clams.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except clams, in a large pot.
• Bring to slow boil over medium heat.
• Add clams, turn up heat to medium-high, and cover.
• Cook for 5-6 minutes, until shells are wide open.
• Discard any clams that do not open with the others, this means they are bad.
• Serve with broth (either poured over clams in a large bowl or for dipping in smaller bow(s). (strain through cheesecloth, if desired, to remove any remaining grit.).

Steps:

• In a big saucepan, combine the beer, broth, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, and salt/pepper.
• Bring to a boil; decrease heat to medium; simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors.
• Add clams; cover and simmer 4-5 minutes until clam shells open.
• Remove bay leaf and discard; remove any clams that did not open and discard.
• Place clams in 4 large individual bowls and ladle some of the liquid from the saucepan over the clams.
• Serve with individual bowls of melted butter for dipping; serve immediately.
