Clams in the coals

[Idahawk]

2 lbs of clams , roasted red peppers , linguini ,wine, lemon juice and zest garlic , Italian parsley and butter

Roasted the peppers first

Put on some bread and heated up a skillet with some olive oil

Cooked the garlic about a minute and then added lemon juice , wine and some of the parsley along with some butter

I placed the clams on a roasting pan and set them directly on the coals in the basement for 4-5 minutes with the lid closed


A few took a bit longer to open



Tossed everything together and added some more wine and butter and garnished with parsley



Pull up a chair

wow save me some... Great Q

It would never even cross my mind to cook something like that on the Weber.  Thanks for the inspiration to think outside of the box @Idahawk.

That is just awesome!  Great photos.  Great methodology.  Have you done this before, or came up on the fly? 

I've read somewhere to avoid cooking seafood on one's primary grill, because it imparts a "fishy" aroma to subsequent cooks, and therefore one should have a separate grill specifically for seafood.  Any validity to that?

@Idahawk - great meal and pictorial on a whole meal cooked on the Weber. Looks amazing.

@Mr.CPHo - I cook seafood a least twice a week on my kettle and have never had any transference of a fishy aroma to subsequent foods cooked. I believe it would be improper cleaning of the grates after cooking seafood that would impart any fishy aromas or tastes. Also, leaving a foil catch tray with seafood drippings in a kettle might possibly impart fishy aromas.

I also cook a lot of seafood on the grill and I don't notice any off taste . I think the flavor your referring to comes with smoking a lot of fish . I have a little chief that I use for smoking blue back ( Kokanee ) that thing reeks and it's used only for smoking fish

I've done this recipe before , I usually use foil in the coals but thumbing through The New American Barbecue cookbook I spotted a recipe where they just set the pan on the coals and thought I'd try it . You have to be careful not to coat the clams in ash since there going in the sauce with this technic , I'll likely go back to foil it the future it's just easier

This meal was under $15.00 and took about 15 minutes to cook , quick and easy

Clams on the grill are awesome!!!!  Never thought of doing them in the basement though.  Great idea.  When I go to Cape Hatteras every summer we cook clams.   We usually have a problem with the juices putting the coals out.  I'm thinking baskets on each side, then a drip pan with a pan like yours on top of it is the way to go.
