RECIPE FROM SPAIN:

Steamed ClamsSteamed 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!
