Procedure

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Clean clams.
  3. Cut out four 18-inch aluminum foil squares.
  4. Make squares into double foil pockets and put ingredients in them.
  5. Fold edges so there is plenty of space for them to open. The edges themselves should be tightly folded several times to close up.
  6. Bake for 15–25 minutes.
  7. Eat right out of the foil or empty onto plate.
