Clams in White Wine Sauce / Almejas a La Marinera

Clams, cockles and other mollusks are used in Spain for many traditional dishes and their different individual variations. Almejas a la marinera are prepared in different ways along the Spanish coast. In some places it means clams cooked with onions, tomatoes and enough spices, in other places peppers, carrots and even long grain rice or breadcrumbs are added and the sauce is seasoned with the wines of the region.

High quality clams are very expensive and are now considered an exceptionally fine tapa.

If sand sticks to the clams, place them in salt water for two to three hours, shaking them occasionally. Then rinse them under tap water.

Heat the oil in an ovenproof dish and brown the garlic.

Add the mussels and sauté over low heat until they open. Mix tap water and breadcrumbs and pour into saucepan with white wine.

Sauté over low heat for 1000 cmin, shaking the saucepan gently until the sauce thickens. Put the mussels on the table very hot sprinkled with the parsley.

Tip: Cook only with high quality spices – they are the be-all and end-all in a good dish!
