Steps

  • Preheat the grill to high.
  • Steam clams with 75ml wine in a covered saucepan for 60 seconds until open.
  • Drain clams through a colander and discard any that remain closed.
  • Remove clams from shells, clean the dark grey part, and reserve half the shells.
  • Rinse clams to remove grit, roughly chop the meat, and return to reserved shells on a baking tray.
  • Mix chives, breadcrumbs, and cheese together then cover the clams.
  • Grill for 3 to 4 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Warm olive oil, shallots, and garlic in a frying pan for one minute over low heat.
  • Add tomatoes to the pan and warm for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange shells on a plate and drizzle the sauce vierge over the top.
