How to cook:

Pick through the clams and discard any that are open and do not close when firmly tapped—these clams are dead and should not be eaten. Add the rest to a colander.
Rinse and scrub the clams to remove any sand or barnacles from the shells.
Fill a bowl large enough to fit the colander with cold water and 3 to 4 tablespoons salt for every 6 cups water. Stir until most of the salt has dissolved.
Place the colander in the bowl of salt water and soak the clams for at least 1 hour and up to overnight, so they release any grit and sand. (Live clams will filter the water and push out any impurities in the process; the grit falls to the bottom of the bowl and the colander allows you to lift out the clams without disturbing the grit.)
Transfer the clams in the colander to another large bowl of fresh water and let soak for 15 to 30 minutes to remove excess salt.
In a wok or large pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
Firmly whack the lemongrass stalks with a wooden spoon to bruise them, which helps release their aroma and flavor during cooking. Trim the ends, then slice the stalks into 4-inch pieces.
Add the lemongrass to the wok, then add the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Carefully pour in the white wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, stock, and coconut milk and bring to a boil.
Add the clams, return to a boil, and cook until the clams are fully opened, 5 to 8 minutes. If any clams remain closed, discard them. Discard the lemongrass.
Divide the clams and broth among individual serving bowls. Garnish with scallions and cilantro and serve with bread for dipping in the broth.

Creamy Dairy Free Clam Chowder

This classic chowder recipe just got a dairy free remake and it couldn't be creamier or tastier!
Provided by: Kari
Total time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 12

Ingredients:

4 strips of bacon, 5 ounces, thinly sliced
1 cup diced onion, 1/4″, 1/2 medium onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup thinly sliced celery, 2 stalks
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
1 – 10 ounce can clams, juices drained and reserved
1 – 8 ounce bottle clam juice
1 cup chicken stock, I used my homemade unsalted recipe
5 cups cubed potatoes 1″, 1 1/2 pounds
1 cup coconut cream, see notes
Sea salt and pepper to taste, see notes

How to cook:

Place a large pot over medium heat, and when the pan is hot, add the bacon. Sauté until the bacon renders it’s fat and is crispy.
Scoop out the bacon bits and set them aside. Pour out some of the bacon fat if there’s too much, you’ll need around 2-3 tablespoons in the pan.
Add the onion, garlic, and celery to the pan. Sauté over medium low temperature until the onion begins to turn translucent and is soft.
Add the thyme, stir to combine, then add the bay leaf, reserved juice from the clams, the bottle of clam juice, and the chicken stock.
Stir to combine again, then add the potatoes and bacon bits. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes. When the potatoes are done, remove the bay leaf.
Then using a ladle, scoop out 2 cups of the cooked potatoes, draining off excess liquid, and add them to a blender. Don’t worry about spooning out the other ingredients with the potatoes, this won’t matter.
Add the coconut cream to the blender with the potatoes, then blend on low speed just until the potatoes are mostly smooth.
Add the potato/coconut cream mixture back to the chowder and stir to combine. Turn the heat off and add the clams. Stir again, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately. Any leftovers reheat well on the stove top. This soup doesn’t freeze super well because the potatoes tend to come out with a mushy texture.
