STOVETOP CLAMBAKE

Lobster, clams, shrimp, and chorizo star in this classic clambake that cooks indoors on the stovetop in a large stockpot. Adding the ingredients in the right order is the secret to this recipe's success; the ones that take longest to cook go in first-and the whole meal is ready in just over half an hour.

Steps:

  • Combine onions, garlic, pale ale, and water in a 16-quart stockpot. Cover with a layer of seaweed (or place a steamer basket on top of onions). Add potatoes, chorizo, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil. Add lobsters; cook over high heat, covered, for 15 minutes. Add clams and corn; cook, covered, for 6 minutes. Add mussels and shrimp; cook, covered, until clams and mussels open and shrimp are cooked through, 4 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove seafood, corn, potatoes, and chorizo using tongs, and transfer to large platters or rimmed baking sheets. Discard seaweed and any unopened clams and mussels. Strain liquid through a sieve into a bowl; add butter, swirling to melt. Squeeze lemons over clambake.

6 garlic cloves
1 bottle pale ale or medium-bodied beer

Steps:

  • Slice the kielbasa diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Set aside. Saute the onions and leeks in the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed 16 to 20 quart stockpot over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the onions start to brown.
  • Layer the ingredients on top of the onions in the stockpot in this order: first the potatoes, salt, and pepper; then the kielbasa, little neck clams, steamer clams, mussels, shrimp, and lobsters. Pour in the white wine. Cover the pot tightly and cook over medium-high heat until steam just begins to escape from the lid, about 15 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook another 15 minutes. The clambake should be done. Test to be sure the potatoes are tender, the lobsters are cooked, and the clams and mussels are open. Remove the lobsters to a wooden board, cut them up, and crack the claws. With large slotted spoons, remove the seafood, potatoes, and sausages to a large bowl and top with the lobsters. Season the broth in the pot to taste, and ladle over the seafood, being very careful to avoid any sand in the bottom.

1 1/2 pounds kielbasa
3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
2 cups chopped leeks, well cleaned (2 leeks, white parts only)
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 pounds small potatoes (red or white)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 dozen steamer clams, scrubbed
2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, in the shell
3 (1 1/2 pound) lobsters
2 cups good dry white wine

Steamed Clams and Lobster with Shallot Butter, Corn, Sausages and Potatoes image

Steps:

  • Make clams:
  • Divide clams between 2 large pots, pushing clams to one side of each pot. Divide sausages and potatoes between pots, placing both ingredients on the other side of pots. Add 1 cup water, 1/2 tablespoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, then 1/4 cup Shallot Butter to each pot. Cover tightly and cook over high heat until clams open, about 8 minutes (discard any clams that do not open). Remove from heat. Using slotted spoon, transfer clams to large bowl, leaving sausages and potatoes in pots. Ladle some of cooking broth into small serving bowl. Serve clams as appetizer, offering broth alongside.
  • Make lobster:
  • Cook 3 lobsters at a time in large stockpot of boiling water, about 12 minutes for 1-pound lobsters and 20 minutes for 2-pound lobsters. Transfer lobsters to bowl.
  • Meanwhile, set pots with sausages and potatoes over medium heat. Cover and continue to cook until potatoes begin to soften, about 12 minutes. Add corn to pots; cook until vegetables are tender and sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Using heavy large knife, cut 2-pound lobsters in half lengthwise; keep 1-pound lobsters whole. Place lobsters, sausages, potatoes and corn on large platter. Pour remaining Shallot Butter into small bowl. Pour any broth from pots into another small bowl; serve alongside lobsters.

For clams
6 dozen littleneck clams (about 9 pounds), scrubbed
2 pounds sweet Italian turkey sausages
6 medium-size white potatoes (about 2 pounds), unpeeled
2 cups water
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Shallot Butter
For lobster
6 1-pound live lobsters or three 2-pound live lobsters
6 ears corn, husked

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in large saucepan; cover with cold water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook just until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Into each bag or cheesecloth pouch, put: 2 potatoes, l ear corn, 1/4 of steamers, 1/4 of mussels, 1 piece sausage, 1 lobster, and 1 egg. Gather bags or pouches together and tie closed with kitchen twine.
  • Fill 5-gallon pot with 1 inch of water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add steamer rack or enough rockweed to keep clambakes elevated. Cover and bring to rolling boil.
  • Gently layer bags in pot. Nestle extra egg in a central position where it's easily retrievable. Cover tightly and steam 15 minutes, maintaining water at full rolling boil. Uncover pot, set aside extra egg, and gently rearrange bags from top to bottom to promote even cooking. Replace egg and re-cover pot.
  • Steam additional 5 minutes, then retrieve extra egg and crack open. If it's hard-cooked, clambakes are done. If egg is not yet cooked, steam bags an additional 5 to 10 minutes. (If you're unsure, untie one bag and test with another egg). When done, lobsters will be completely red. Transfer each bag to large plate and serve immediately.
  • To serve, divide melted butter among 4 small cups and season to taste with salt. Ladle some broth from pot into 4 small bowls. Cut open bags. Discard any steamers or mussels that have not opened and loosely arrange food on plates. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Place one cup of butter, one dish of broth, and one lemon wedge on each plate. Have bowls for shells and plenty of napkins at the ready.

2 pounds medium new potatoes, red or white
4 ears corn, husked
2 pounds soft-shelled steamer clams, scrubbed
1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
1 pound Spanish-style chorizo or linguiça, cut crosswise into 4 pieces (andouille or smoked kielbasa sausage can be substituted)
4 (1 to 1 1/4 pound) live lobsters
5 large eggs
For Cooking
4 large mesh bags (such as onions or citrus fruit come in) or 4 pouches made from several wide layers cheesecloth
Kitchen twine
Large pot (5 or more gallons) with tightly-fitting lid
Rockweed (see Chef's Notes, below) or steamer rack
For Serving
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Old Bay seasoning
4 lemon wedges

  • As I mentioned above, in order to make this meal, you need to be on the coast. Your first mission is to collect salt water and seaweed. You want fresh wet seaweed, not seaweed that has washed up on the shore and dried out.
  • Inspect the clams to make sure that none of them have cracked or damaged shells. If they have open shells, tap them to see if the shell closes. If the shell doesn't close, the clam is likely dead. Discard any dead clams and any clams with cracked or damaged shells.
  • Place the clams in a pot and cover them with half of the sea water. Let them sit for one hour. This process will help to remove sand and grit from the clams. You must use sea water or heavy salted tap water, otherwise the clams will die. After an hour drain and quickly rinse the clams.
