Baked Mercenaria Mercenaria... Aka baked Clams, or Quahogs

I have a fabulous supplier, close to me, of all manner of delicious goodies.  Oakleaf European actually make twice weekly visits to Rungis, in Paris, and return with fabulous things for restaurants all over the UK, and even fly somethings abroad for one or two special restaurants.  Depending on the season their warehouse smells of truffles, the sweetest figs, planters of aromatic mint, basil, and bunches of chervil.

Thai Steamed Palourde Clams...

Seriously, I'm not sure that there could be a faster or more delicious supper, or perhaps starter.  The entire thing takes no more than ten minutes to make!  As long as you have good palourdes (or mussels, razor clams, etc), you're good to go!  In fact this is so easy, I'm getting the 11yo to cook it.
