Step 1

To make the salsa verdi, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and season with more fish sauce and black pepper to taste.

Step 2

Preheat a cast iron pan in Roccbox until super hot. Carefully remove the pan from Roccbox and add the clams to the pan. Return the pan to Roccbox and cook for around 3-5 minutes or until the clams are open and their juice is bubbling in the pan.

Add the clams to a bowl, dress with the salsa verdi and sprinkle over the peanuts. Get stuck in with your hands to devour!
