Spicy Steamed Clams

A loaf of aromatic toasted garlic bread is a great accompaniment to this dish. To make garlic bread, melt 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter with 1 minced garlic clove. Cut a baguette in half lengthwise. Using a pastry brush, brush the garlic butter on the bread. Toast the baguette in a preheated broiler until golden brown.
