Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a medium saucepan half-full of water to a boil. Immerse tomatoes 10 seconds; then remove and rinse with cold water. Peel and seed tomatoes. Dice them and set aside.
- Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine clams, shallot, garlic, wine and parsley sprig. Cover, place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until all the shells open, 8 to 10 minutes. Check the pan occasionally, and transfer open clams to a bowl to prevent overcooking. When all clams have opened, set them aside in the bowl.
- Step 3
Strain broth in saucepan; there should be about ½ cup. Transfer to a blender, and add lemon juice. With machine running, slowly add olive oil. Return mixture to a large saucepan over medium heat. When broth is simmering, add clams in their shells, and tomatoes. When clams are heated, in 5 to 10 seconds, remove from heat and add basil and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to mix well. Serve immediately.
