Ingredients for Instant Pot Thai Coconut Clams

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

• 3 shallots, halved lengthwise and sliced

• 1 stalk fresh lemongrass

• 120ml vegetable broth or chicken stock, preferably homemade

• 1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks

• 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced

• 2 cucchiai di salsa di pesce asiatica

• 1 cucchiaio di zucchero di canna chiaro

• 120ml canned full-fat coconut milk (not refrigerated nondairy beverage)

• 900g clams, scrubbed

• Sale e pepe nero macinato fresco a piacere

• 1 spring onion (white and green parts), chopped

• 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped

• 1 lime, cut into wedges, for squeezing

Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Add the shallots and sauté until they are soft and browned at the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel the outer layers from the lemongrass stalk and smash the inner core with the side of a heavy knife to bruise it (this helps release the flavour). Finely chop the core.

Add the lemongrass to the pot along with the stock, ginger, jalapeños, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, and then bring the sauce up to a simmer, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer until it has reduced by a third and is beginning to thicken, 5 minutes.

Add the clams, cover, and cook on low pressure for 1 minute. Release the pressure manually. Discard any clams that didn’t open. Taste the sauce, and season it with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the clams in bowls, spooning some broth over them and garnishing with the spring onion, coriander, and a squeeze of lime juice.
