Steamed Clams with Tomatoes
Shellfish? In the microwave? Steaming is what the microwave does best, which makes clams a natural ingredient for this preparation. Buttery, slightly sweet, and slightly salty all at the same time, the clams pair well with the acidic tomatoes. You'll want a side of bread or pasta to soak up the sauce.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- ½ cup (105g) crushed tomatoes
- 8 oz (225g) fresh clams, scrubbed
- Parsley or basil to garnish
Preparation
- Clean the clams: Place the clams in a large bowl of ice-cold water that’s salted like sea water. Let sit for no longer than 2 minutes. Brush each clam shell with a clean brush to remove debris if needed. Clams should purge sand, which will sink to the bottom of the bowl, so be sure to remove carefully.
- Place all the ingredients except parsley/basil in the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted). Cook in the microwave for 7-9 minutes, stirring halfway through, until all clams have opened.
- Season broth to taste and serve.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Serve over pasta or with a side of crusty bread
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
