Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the beans and put them in a bowl. Cover with cold water and soak overnight.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the olive oil in a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Add the shallots and saute over low heat until tender. Stir in the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and ginger. Drain the black beans and add them. Add the cup of wine, bring to a simmer and add the clams.

  3. Step 3

    Cover tightly and cook over medium heat until the clams open, about 10 minutes. Taste sauce and add a little water or wine if it is too salty. Transfer to soup plates, garnish with coriander and serve.
