BAKED CLAMS IN SPICY BUTTER SAUCE (LES PALOURDES AUX AROMATES)

Baked Clams in Spicy Butter Sauce (Les Palourdes aux aromates) image

This is a lovely first course, and decadent because of the butter, especially with slices of fresh, crusty french bread to dip in the sauce. I got it from "The New New York Times Cookbook." (Time does not include opening the clams.)
