Beer-Steamed Clams

This simple beer-steamed clams recipe is a celebration of fresh coastal flavours. By using a crisp pale lager as the steaming liquid, you infuse the shellfish with a subtle, malty depth that perfectly balances their natural saltiness. It is a wonderfully tactile dish that brings a sense of occasion to the table, despite requiring minimal preparation and only three basic ingredients.

Ideal as a light dairy-free starter or a casual main course, these littleneck clams are best enjoyed with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the savoury juices. The addition of fresh lemon provides a bright, zesty finish that cuts through the richness of the seafood. Serve this quick dish at your next gathering for a fuss-free meal that is certain to impress.
