How to make it
- Soak clams in cold water for about an hour or so changing water 2 or three times. Discard clams that do not close when tapped on shell.
- Start grill- core must be hot
- In a pan large enough to hold the clams, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce and bring to a boil. Continue to simmer on low heat, covered. Salt and pepper to taste
- Put clams on hottest part of the grill and close cover. The clams start to open after about 3 minutes on the grill.
- When clams start to open, transfer the open clams to sauce pan and cover with sauce. Continue putting the clams into the sauce as they each start to open.
- Spoon the clams onto a large deep serving platter or a large serving bowl. Pour the remaining sauce over the clams and garnish with a squeeze of a lime wedge and cilantro. Arrange lime wedges on platter.
- Serve immediately with a loaf of artisan crusty bread and a good white wine or even beer.
