Clams Grilled in a Foil Pouch

These grilled clams in a foil pouch are a wonderfully fragrant way to enjoy fresh seafood during the warmer months. By sealing the littleneck clams in a parcel with white wine, shallots, and plum tomatoes, you create a private steaming chamber that locks in all the briny juices. The addition of fresh flat-leaf parsley and oregano provides a bright, Mediterranean finish that perfectly complements the sweetness of the shellfish.

This dairy-free seafood dish is an excellent choice for an elegant yet effortless outdoor starter or a light main course. The method is incredibly simple, requiring minimal preparation and even less washing up. Serve these succulent clams with plenty of charred, crusty bread to ensure not a single drop of the delicious, herb-infused garlic and wine broth goes to waste.

Ingredients for Clams Grilled in a Foil Pouch

  • 18 littleneck clams, scrubbed

  • 2 diced seeded plum tomatoes

  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced

  • Leaves from a few sprigs of flat-leaf parsley and oregano sprigs, coarsely chopped

  • A pinch of red pepper flakes

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

How to make Clams Grilled in a Foil Pouch

  1. Stack two 2 1/2-foot-long pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. In the centre, heap 18 littleneck clams, scrubbed; 2 diced seeded plum tomatoes; 1 shallot, thinly sliced; and the leaves from a few sprigs of flat-leaf parsley and oregano sprigs, coarsely chopped. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Top with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional). Fold up the sides of the foil to form a pouch.

  2. Pour 60ml dry white wine over the clam mixture, and roll the top edges over several times to seal tightly, leaving plenty of room for the clams to steam.

  3. Place the pouch on the hot grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the shells have opened. Serve immediately with grilled crusty bread.
