Ingredients
- 4lbs Fresh shellfish or clams
- 1-2 Green and red chilies, deseeded and finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Finely chopped garlic
- 1 tsp Finely chopped ginger
- 1 tbsp Finely chopped parsley
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Fishy Garlic Clams is a simple, but flavorful dish with its own liqueur. Before you start cooking the clams, leave them to soak overnight in cold water. Discard clams with cracked or gaping shells or those which feel too heavy, as they will not be safe to eat. It is alright if any clams open while you’re storing them, but throw out any clams that don’t close when tapped. Shellfish can stay fresh for as long as they can hold water in their shells. Clams also have a lot of health benefits.
Clams can be cooked in a number of ways, including steaming, boiling and frying. The best thing is that they don’t take very long to cook, usually only a few minutes, making it a perfect fuss-free recipe.
