RECIPE
FROM SPAIN:
Steamed
Clams
Clams
are a lovely alternative to mussels. The soft meaty flesh is perfect
in salads or as an appetiser. The flavour is such that they are
best steamed with a minimum of other ingredients.
You
will need:
1
kilo fresh clams
Handful fresh chopped parsley
Water
Salt
Method
- Clean
the clams by rinsing in cold water
- Place
in a large pan with the chopped parsley, a little salt and about
an inch or two of cold water.
- Steam
with the lid on for about 5 minutes until all the shells have
opened.
Note:
Clams
can also be eaten raw like oysters with a pinch of salt and
a squeeze of lemon juice. However, when you see them moving
around in the pan before cooking, it is probably more appetising
to eat them cooked!
