Recipe of the Week - Clambake ... in foil

Ok, ok, I promise I’ll give it a rest with the foil recipes…in September. This is similar to the paella, but just as yummy, and quick. I made this for my family, so it took longer than the 25 minutes it says in the recipe.
 
Turn the grill on high. This recipe serves 4. 
You will need: 

• 1 large aluminum disposable baking dish
• Heavy duty aluminum foil or grilling foil
• 2lbs unopened fresh clams.  (Throw any opened ones away)
• Eight small pieces shucked corn
• 2lbs Andoille sausage cut into bite size or a little larger pieces
• 2 bottles of beer
• 2 lbs small potatoes (like those baby red ones), cut in half

Toss everything together in the aluminum pan and  seal with foil. A small batch takes about 25 minutes to cook.  Mine took almost an hour but it was about 3x the original recipe.  Opened clams and tender potatoes will be your guide.
 
Even if you’re hanging around your concrete pool or your kids’ trampoline, this will make you feel you are digging your toes in the sand in the Hamptons.
