3. Add 4 cups of water & bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow bubbling simmer & cook for 30 minutes.

4. Strain broth, discard vegetables & set aside.

5. Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat in a pan large enough to hold all the clams.

6. Add garlic, shallot and cook until fragrant & sizzling. Toss in the clams, reserved tomatoes, broth & lemon juice.

7. Cover pan & turn up the heat to high & cook until the clams open, about 5 mins. Discard any clams that haven't opened. Taste the broth to see if it needs salt or chili.
