    Steamed Clams or Mussels,Easy and Delicious.,Fresh clams on sale, fresh basil from the garden, fresh garlic from the garden, chicken stock, white wine and butter – then salt and pepper. Divine. Definitely a keeper. Thanks!,I’ve steamed both clams and mussels many times over the years. The base use is pretty much this recipe, without the basil. This first time I added itto the mix. It really didn’t work for us. Granted, I couldn’t find fresh basil, so used the dry. I might do this again if I can get fresh basil, although it doesn’t seem pressing.
