This aromatic coconut and clam stock offers a sophisticated, dairy-free alternative to traditional seafood bases. Infused with the delicate notes of lemongrass, fennel and dry white wine, it provides a rich or 'creamy' texture without the need for butter or cream. The natural sweetness of the onion and coconut milk perfectly balances the briny depth of the fresh clams, creating a versatile liquid that serves as a wonderful foundation for various exotic dishes.

Ideal for use in a fragrant seafood laksa or as a poaching liquid for white fish, this homemade stock is remarkably simple to prepare. Because it uses large hard-shell clams and store-cupboard staples like tinned coconut milk, it is an accessible way to elevate your home cooking. Serve it as a base for a light risotto or simply enjoy it as a nutritious, savoury broth.

Ingredients for Coconut-Clam Stock

1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 cebolla mediana, picada en trozos grandes
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 lemongrass stalk, tough outer layers removed, lightly smashed, coarsely chopped
2 hojas de laurel
6 cherrystone or other large hard-shell clams, scrubbed
240ml de vino blanco seco
1 (13.140g can) unsweetened coconut milk
Sal kosher

How to make Coconut-Clam Stock

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-low. Add onion, fennel, lemongrass, and bay leaves. Cover and cook, checking and stirring halfway through to ensure no browning occurs, until softened, 8–10 minutes. (The flavour won't be ruined if the vegetables take on colour, but the stock will end up grayish.)

Add clams and wine and increase heat to medium-high. Cover and cook until clams open, 12–15 minutes. Add coconut milk and 240ml water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.

Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Season stock with salt. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and emulsified, if desired.
