I am a fan of a clambake in the summer, and quite frankly, as often as possible, served anywhere, anytime—not only on the beach. This clam bake in a can method is carefully designed to accomplish that.

1 pound unsalted butter

One 750-milliliter bottle white wine 

1/2 cup chopped garlic 

1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon 

3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 

1 pound baby Yukon gold or fingerling potatoes, left whole 

4 ears corn, peeled and cut in half, husks reserved

Directions

  1. Place the butter, white wine, garlic, tarragon and 1/4 cup parsley in the bottom of a 10-quart stockpot with insert and place the steaming insert on top. Add to the pot in the following order: potatoes, corn, reserved corn husks, lobsters, clams, shrimp, mussels, sausages, remaining 1/2 cup parsley and bacon.
