Almejas Vino Blanco is a small clam dish I came up with one day when trying to get rid of a few extra fresh clams! This recipe is so easy and a great little clam tapas dish!
The sauce is very light, so the nice fresh taste of the sea shines through on the fresh clams. Give this a try the next time you feel like some nice fresh clams!
Serves: 4 tapas portions Preparation time: about 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
about 1 lb fresh clams (removing any that a open or cracked) about 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 TB lemon juice 2 TB olive 1 clove garlic finely chopped salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil over medium heat in a small sauce pan. Add the garlic and cook for a couple minutes. Now add the wine, lemon juice, salt and pepper and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Now add the fresh clams and cook (covered) for about 5 minutes until the clams open.
Serve in a dish with lemon wedge garnish and enjoy!
