RECIPE BY: cookiedog

This is a recipe from a little cart in the small town of El Sauzal where the clams are shucked, cleaned, stuffed, and wrapped in foil. They are then burried in the coals of a wood-burning fire pit. After a few minutes, they are opened up and served with a squeeze of lime. Recipe is from Baja: Cooking on the Edge. This recipe is easy to adjust as it is for a single serving and alternative cooking methods are offered.
