Clams in Sambal Butter Sauce
,
We are so excited to share this delicious clam recipe from Chef Siska Silitonga of @chilicali
She's bringing us the heat today with her recipe for Clams in Butter Sambal Sauce, and we can't help but drool as we type. This dish pairs perfectly sitting in your backyard with a baguette and beer, but best of all with Chef Siska's signature pour-in sambal base.
We'll be making this dish all summer long and hope you will too! Make sure to tag us and Chef Siska when you remake this recipe and let us know if you love it just as much as we do.
