Tip

See the Everyday Cookbook for the recipe for Butter.
This recipe can be made using any variety of clams or pipis. Bear in mind that steaming time may vary depending on the size of the clams.
If only some of the clams have opened up, use the spatula to move the clams around in the Varoma dish and steam for another 1-3 minutes until all are opened. If only a few clams are still closed after this time, stop cooking and discard the unopened clams.
As this recipe produces a lot of sauce, you may prefer to serve the clams in bowls with bread on the side, and mop up the sauce with the bread or serve the extra sauce in a jug so people can pour over extra to preference. Alternatively, you can reserve the sauce to use on pasta or rice at a later date.

    Enjoyed this but next time I would give the Clams only 9 mins and check.  Ate with mashed potato cooked first & kept warm in Thermoserver & salad on the side.
