Ingredients

3 dozen Clams (prefer little neck or small steamers)

White (2 cups) and Red wine (1 cup) - Cooking wine is fine, I usually have some left over table wine which is good. White should be dry and the red should be a burgundy cooking wine or cabernet.

Sea Salt

Red/White and Black pepper

Butter

Fresh italian parsley

2 cups water

Tin foil

A grill

Directions

Make foil baskets - three layers of foil at bottom and ensure they do not leak on the sides. You will need to judge the size of your baskets based on the size of your grill - don't make them too big. Alot 10 medium clams in each or 15 small in each.

Wash clams - discard any which are broken or already open

Heat your grill - use a high heat to start

Fill foil baskets with 2 parts white wine, 1 part water and 1 part red wine

Coursely chop parsley

Add to grill and let liquid begin to bubble (not a full boil) - watch - takes only a few minutes

Add clams to the baskets, fresh parsley, butter and Cracker pepper

Close foil baskets - reduce heat to med-high

Stir occasionally and gently (don't puncture the tin foil - you will have stinky mess tomorrow . . . )

Once clams are open in each basket, dump to your favorite serving bowl

Serve melted butter on side
