Pacific Northwest Microwbrew Steamers With Bread

Recipe #161168 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This has amazed our guests for years, but is so easy it leaves me time to enjoy their company! And sometimes hubby and I just have it together with a very oaky Chardonnay. The use of unsalted butter is imperative for this recipe, else it is way too salty! This serves 4 for a pretty filling appetizer or 2 for a meal with a salad. You can use clams instead of mussels if you wish. There will be plenty of broth to soak up with a nice crusty bread.

I made this for Father's Day 2008 along with Teriyaki Salmon Skewers #266385. The only thing I changed was I added some chopped celery cause we like that in our steamers. I used all fresh herbs in it. These were delectable. We have been steamers fans for years! Thanks for a great recipe, I'll be making this again!

    Ok, I have never made clams and the BF told me they were better then the clams he has had at a very nice restaurant we frequent. I did use all fresh herbs and it was worth the expense. I also used “salted� butter (that’s all I had) and it was GREAT! (But we do like salt.) Thanks for the great recipe Chef Potpie! This is going into my top-notch section!

    Living in Seattle and being a waitress in seafood restaurant for way too long, I have had many great steamed Manilla clams...I loved this recipe. Don't skimp on the garlic or spices. Thanks Chef PotPie!!

    this was soooooooooooooo gooooooooood! my first time eating clams(i've been scared of them my whole life! silly, i know..) and they were delicious! got some great manila clams and herbs at the pike place market, and had a decadent dinner! the sauce/broth this makes is perfect for dipping nice crusty bread in....my mouth is watering just thinking of this meal!!!
