Ingredients
- 6 thick sliced pieces bacon chopped
- 3 cloves garlic very thinly sliced
- ½ cup dry white or rose wine
- 25 littleneck clams scrubbed clean
- 1 jalapeno chile thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved (recommended: sun golds)
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped or torn
- Crusty bread for serving brush with olive oil and grill for best results
Notes
- Steam the clams just until they open. Over-cooking clams can make them tough and rubbery. As soon as the clams open, remove them from the heat.
- Always opt for fresh, high-quality clams. Make sure they are tightly closed or close when gently tapped. Fresh clams will give the dish the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a milder heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before chopping. This will help control the spiciness of the dish.
