Clams with Garlic and White Wine image

The clams used for this tasty dish, which is found in most tapas bars in Spain, should be as small as possible. Use littleneck clams or cockles, and serve good bread to mop up the garlicky green sauce.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 small clams, thoroughly scrubbed
1 Tbsp cornmeal (or flour)
3 Tbsp olive oil
4 Tbsp minced onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c dry white wine
1/4 c fish stock
1 lemon, juiced
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Put the clams in a bowl, cover them with salted cold water, and sprinkle with cornmeal.
  • 2. Refrigerate, uncovered, several hours or overnight to rid clams of sand. Drain, rinse, and dry clams.
  • 3. Heat the oil in a large, shallow flameproof casserole and saute the onion and garlic over high heat. Just before the garlic begins to brown, add clams and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes.
  • 4. Add the wine and let it cook off. Stir in the stock, lemon juice, bay leaf, 1 tablespoon parsley, and pepper.
  • 5. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook, removing clams as they open to a warm platter; add a little water if the liquid evaporates before all the clams have opened. (The finished dish should have some sauce.)
  • 6. Return the opened clams to the casserole, heat 1 minute, and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
  • 7. Serves 6 to 8 as a tapa.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish without the clams. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm allergic to clams, so I made this dish with shrimp instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a disaster! The clams were overcooked and the sauce was too thin. I will not be making this again.

This dish was way too salty for me. I think I accidentally added too much salt.

I had a hard time finding fresh clams, so I used canned clams instead. The dish still turned out well, but the clams were a bit tough.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The clams were plump and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I served it over angel hair pasta and it was a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The clams are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I love that it's a one-pot dish, which makes cleanup a breeze.

Wow! This dish was absolutely delicious. The clams were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I served it over linguine and it was a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again!
