Skewer tomatoes and brush lightly with olive oil. Rub bread with raw garlic, brush with olive oil and salt lightly. Cut sausages in half length-wise. Grill tomatoes, sausage and bread over medium-high heat until all are lightly browned/edges charred on both sides and tomatoes are juicy. Remove all from grill and allow to cool slightly.

Once liquid starts simmering, add clams to skillet, and place entire skillet on the grill (high heat), covering. Stir occasionally.

When liquid is bubbling and all clam shells have opened, remove skillet from grill. Sprinkle with remaining herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Serve right out of the skillet with grilled bread on the side.
