Beer Steamed Clams On A Gas Grill Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a large pot with oil and bring it to a high heat. When the oil is hot add the garlic, scallions, ginger and chiles. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until everything is very aromatic.
• Add the clams and stir to coat with the oil and other ingredients. Add the vinegar, beer, and kaffir lime leaves. Cover and steam the clams until they open, about 5 to 7 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened.
• Divide the clams into serving bowls with the broth and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.
• WOWEEE!!!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large stock pot. Gently saute garlic and onions until light golden brown, being careful not to burn them. Place clams in pot and season with salt and pepper. Add fresh basil and pour in beer. Cover pot and bring to boil over medium heat, cooking until clams open. Remove clams to platter or large serving bowl, discarding any that do not open. Pour broth into a serving bowl for dipping with crusty bread.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for very high heat.
• Tap any open clams; if they stay open, throw them out. Place the closed clams on the grill grate. Grill, covered, until the clams open, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer all the opened clams to a bowl; throw out any clams that remain closed. Be careful not to lose any of the liquid in the shells-that's where the flavor is.

Steps:

• In a big saucepan, combine the beer, broth, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, and salt/pepper.
• Bring to a boil; decrease heat to medium; simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors.
• Add clams; cover and simmer 4-5 minutes until clam shells open.
• Remove bay leaf and discard; remove any clams that did not open and discard.
• Place clams in 4 large individual bowls and ladle some of the liquid from the saucepan over the clams.
• Serve with individual bowls of melted butter for dipping; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan. Pour beer in and fill to 1 to 2 inches below the bottom of the steamer. Add clams to the steamer insert, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Steam until the top clams barely open, 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook or clams will become tough and rubbery.
• While clams are steaming, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add parsley and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Charcoal grill method for sausages and oysters:
• Prepare grill for cooking with about 7 pounds of briquets. (You'll need about 15 pounds of briquets total.)
• Prick bratwursts and chorizo in several places with a fork, then grill, covered, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Scatter about 12 additional briquets over glowing coals and replace rack.
• Fold burlap into a triple layer slightly smaller than grill surface and soak completely with water. Put 3 to 4 dozen oysters directly on grill rack, cover with wet burlap, and roast, without grill cover, until shells just begin to open (about 1/16 inch) or give slightly when squeezed with tongs, about 10 minutes. (If necessary, sprinkle more water over burlap to keep moist.) Serve oysters as they open, removing them with tongs, and roast any unopened oysters a few minutes longer, replacing burlap. Roast remaining oysters in 2 or 3 batches in same manner, adding about 12 more briquets between batches to keep fire hot and resoaking burlap thoroughly.
• Gas grill method:
• Follow the charcoal grill method for sausages and oysters, or use a roasting pan and foil for oysters and follow stovetop-oven method.
• Stovetop-oven method for sausages and oysters:
• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Heat 2 heavy ridged grill pans or skillets over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook sausages, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat a 17- by 12-inch roasting pan (2 to 3 inches deep) on bottom shelf of oven until very hot. Remove from oven and quickly fill with 3 to 4 dozen oysters and 1 cup water, then cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil. Roast oysters until shells just begin to open (about 1/16 inch) or give slightly when squeezed with tongs, about 10 minutes. Serve oysters as they open, removing them with tongs, and roast any unopened oysters a few minutes longer, covered with foil. Roast remaining oysters in 2 or 3 batches in same manner.
• Steam clams while oysters roast on grill or in oven:
• Steam clams in beer in a 6- to 8-quart pot over moderately high heat, covered, until clams open, about 10 minutes (discard any unopened clams after 15 minutes). Transfer clams as opened to a platter. Carefully pour clam broth into cups, avoiding any sediment, for dunking clams if still sandy.

Steps:

• Crush the mustard seeds and the coriander seeds lightly in a mortar and pestle, or place the seeds in a heavy plastic bag and lightly crush with a mallet or rolling pin.
• In a large pot, bring beer, bay leaves, Old Bay, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and cayenne pepper to a boil over medium heat.
• Add the clams.
• Cover and steam 3-6 min or until the clams open, stirring once or twice.
• Discard any clams that DO NOT open.
• Serve clams with the broth in shallow bowls.
• Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
