   Place the razor clams in a roasting tray with the white wine, garlic, lemon peel, tarragon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a 500°F (260°C) oven or on a hot BBQ for 3–5 minutes, just until the clams open.

   Schritt 4. Make the chanterelle sauce

   Pour in the reserved clam juice and reduce until slightly concentrated. Stir in the crème fraîche and cook until the sauce is smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened, just enough to coat the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, then finish with the chopped chives.

   Place the toasted sourdough on the bottom of a serving platter. Arrange the razor clams in their shells over the bread, then generously spoon the creamy chanterelle sauce over the top. Finish with extra fresh chives, a drizzle of olive oil, and a few tarragon leaves if desired.

   Tarragon leaves are optional.
