Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

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:

  • 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.

STEAMED CORN WITH CLAMS AND BACON



Steamed Corn With Clams and Bacon image

"The dish tastes exactly of August on a plate," Sam Sifton wrote in 2013 when bringing the recipe to The Times. "the saltiness of the clams amplifying what Pablo Neruda called the sweet, 'virginal' flavor of the corn." Adapted from ''Seamus Mullen's Hero Food," this fast summer recipe pairs sweet corn with briny clams and smoky bacon for a well-rounded, light dish.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound slab bacon, diced
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
50 littleneck clams
5 ears sweet corn, shucked, trimmedand cut in half
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pimentón
Crushed Aleppo pepper to taste, or red-pepper flakes
10 to 12 fresh basil leaves, torn roughly
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy bottomed pot set over medium heat, cook the bacon until it begins to render its fat. Add the garlic, and cook until it turns translucent.
  • Add the clams, corn and white wine, then stir in the pimentón. Increase heat to high, and cook for approximately 30 seconds, to evaporate the alcohol. Lower heat to medium low, cover the pot and steam until the clams have all opened and the corn is tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. (Discard any unopened clams.)
  • Using tongs and a spoon, remove all the clams and corn and bacon from the pot, and place in large, warm bowl, with a healthy dose of broth, a scattering of Aleppo pepper and the torn basil, and drizzle with olive oil.

STEAMED CLAMS AND CORN

Cutting plump ears of corn into "coins" and steaming them with clams and spicy green chile pepper yields a broth with a one-two punch of flavor. The liquid begs to be sopped up with crusty bread and washed down with white wine for a memorable dinner.
