Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the littleneck clams under cold water to remove any sand. Chop the apple into small cubes, and cut the cauliflower into florets. Mince the garlic and chop the cilantro.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cauliflower

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.

  3. 3

    Add Flavors

    Add the minced garlic and yellow curry powder to the pot, stirring for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Clams and Broth

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed clams. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until the clams open up.

  5. 5

    Add Apple and Season

    Once the clams are open, add the diced apple and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with crusty bread or over rice.
