Steamed Clams with Tomatoes

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.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 9-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until all clams have opened.
  3. Season broth to taste and serve.


Serving suggestions & tips

  • Serve over pasta or with a side of crusty bread
