Ingredients:

Serving

4 lb live littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 small shallot, minced
2 leeks, cleaned and sliced, white and light green part only
2 lb live mussels , beards removed and scrubbed
2 tsp salt-free seafood grill and broil seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 bottle (750ml) chardonnay or other white wine
2 tsp crushed garlic
crusty sourdough bread , for serving

Directions:

At least 1 hour before cooking clams, mix the kosher salt and cornmeal into 1 gallon of water and soak the clams. Do not use iodized salt as it will instantly kill the clams.
In a steamer or large pot set over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and leeks and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except bread, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the clams and mussels. Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam over low heat until clams and mussels have opened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Discard any clams or mussels that have not opened.
Transfer to serving bowls and ladle with broth. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the broth.
