This is a good summer appetizer with a group of friends. Pairs well with either beer or a glass of wine. Clams are steamed in foil wraps on the grill. The clams are steamed with a mixture of sea salt, cracked white/red and black pepper, white and red wine. Read more See less
Ingredients
- 3 dozen clams (prefer little neck or small steamers) shopping list

How to make it
- 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
