Clams

Clams are a great way to enjoy the refreshing taste of the sea even when you’re miles inland.

These little molluscs can be found in both freshwater and marine environments and have a rich, slightly sweet, oceanic flavour.

How to Cook

Clams make a beautifully light starter when scrubbed clean and cooked simply in a pot with garlic, lemon, and olive oil. And of course, let’s not forget they are a vital component of the Italian classic Spaghetti alla Vongole.

However, for a heartier meal, you could look stateside for inspiration and try your hand at a New England clam chowder. Add your clams to a creamy broth of bacon, diced potatoes, and herbs for a comforting American staple.

What to Drink

Clams and a highly acidic Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rosé are a match made in heaven.

But if serving with a creamy sauce, a white burgundy makes a delightful accompaniment.

Notes

When raw, the shells of healthy clams will be closed. Discard any that are open before cooking.

Once you have cooked your clams, discard any that haven’t opened within the suggested cooking time. These will not be good to eat.
