Recipe Summary One-Pot Clambake

My take on a traditional New England summer dinner with potatoes, lobster, clams, and fresh corn.

Ingredients | Healthy Dinner Ideas For One

2 ½ pounds small (about 2-inch diameter) Red Bliss potatoes

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1 teaspoon fennel seeds

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon black peppercorns

1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

1 (1 pound) cooked chorizo sausage (preferably Spanish), cut into 8 pieces

4 (1 1/2) pounds lobsters

48 littleneck clams, scrubbed

4 ears fresh corn, husked and halved crosswise

Directions

Pour 1 gallon of water into a lobster pot or stockpot large enough to hold all ingredients. Add potatoes and salt and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, 10 minutes (potatoes will be slightly softened but not cooked through).

Put coriander, fennel, thyme, and peppercorns in a large piece of cheesecloth. Gather edges together and tie with kitchen string to make a pouch.

Add spice pouch, wine, chorizo, and lobsters to pot with potatoes. Boil, covered, 5 minutes. Add clams and corn and cook, covered, until lobsters are cooked and clams have opened, about 5 minutes (discard any unopened clams).

Cut each lobster in half using a heavy knife and kitchen shears. Serve each person half a lobster, 6 clams, half an ear of corn, 2 potatoes, and a piece of chorizo.
