Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted clam juice 1 cup loosely packed Thai or regular fresh basil leaves 1 2-inch piece lemongrass, coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (nam pla) 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter 8 pounds steamers (littlenecks or cherrystones can be used instead), scrubbed 3 limes, cut in wedges, for garnish

Directions

Combine 2 cups water, clam juice, basil, lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, and salt in a stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until well flavored, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine cilantro and butter in food processor; mix until cilantro is in tiny flecks. Set aside in a small saucepan.

Pass liquid in stockpot through cheesecloth-lined strainer. Return to stockpot over medium-high heat. Add clams (use a bamboo steamer if desired); cover pan. Cook until clams open, 10 to 12 minutes; discard unopened ones. Melt the cilantro butter. Transfer the clams to a serving bowl, and strain the broth through a cheesecloth-lined strainer.

Serve clams with lime wedges, broth for rinsing off sand, and butter for dipping.
