Barbecued Clams

As you’ll see form the previous post, American Independence day fell over this weekend. So for the 4th of July, we rented a cabin up in Lake Tahoe, which gave us the opportunity to do something we’d been gagging to do since we got here. Get our grill on.

We cooked a bunch of stuff on the barbecue which came with our weekend digs including ribs (recipe soon), steak, corn, s’mores and this great little clam recipe that the missus spotted on the New York Times website a few weeks ago.

It’s a really simple and easy, a bit different, and makes a perfect starter.  We approximated the quantities as we didn’t have any on-line access whilst there, but I think we winged it pretty successfully.

Ingredients (serves 2)

20 clams (about 10 per person)

100g buter

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Small handful chopped flat leaf parsley
