When I saw the Whole Foods on Bowery had the lil’ guys in stock, I had to buy. I steamed them up last night and served alongside lemon linguine, heirloom tomatoes in champagne vinaigrette, baby beets + beet greens and homemade grapefruit sorbet for dessert.<strong><br/><br/>Steamed Cockles<br/></strong><em>Serves 2</em><strong><br/><br/>Ingredients:<br/></strong></p> <ul> <li>2 pounds fresh cockles, scrubbed</li> <li>1 tablespoon olive oil</li> <li>2 shallots, thinly sliced</li> <li>1 bunch scallions, green part only, sliced</li> <li>1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced</li> <li>1/4 bottle dry white wine</li> <li>black pepper</li> <li>handful chopped parsley</li> <li>1 lemon, cut in half</li> </ul> <p><strong>Directions:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Heat the olive oil in a large pot.
