STEAMERS IN RED CHILE PESTO BROTH
Steps:
- Heat grill to high.
- Place a large kettle on the grill, add wine and bring to a boil. Add the steamers, cover and steam until opened, discarding any that do not open. Remove steamers to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Bring liquid back to a boil and reduce by half. Whisk in the red chile pesto and honey. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the cilantro. Pour the mixture over the steamers and serve immediately.
- Place chiles in a bowl and cover with boiling water; let sit until soft, at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the chiles from the liquid, reserving the liquid, and coarsely chop. Place the chiles in the bowl of a food processor along with 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid, honey, cilantro, garlic and pine nuts and process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Brush poblano peppers with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all sides. Place in bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes; then peel, halve, seed and coarsely chop the poblano peppers.
- Reduce grill heat to medium high. On stove, heat oil in large enamel-coated Dutch oven or any other large, shallow pot until almost smoking. Add onion, and cook until soft, for 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine, and reduce mixture until almost dry. Add clam juice, coconut milk and poblano and serrano peppers, and bring to boil. Add spinach leaves, and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- In batches, transfer the mixture to a blender, add 1/2 cup water and blend until smooth. Return mixture to pot, and bring to boil. Add honey, and season with salt and pepper. Add clams, stir, cover and place pot on the grill. Cover grill, and cook until all clams open, for 10 to 12 minutes. (Or keep pot on stove, turn heat to high and cook until clams open, about 10 to 12 minutes.) Pour clams and their broth into a large bowl, and serve.
