5

Add 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic and the chopped chili (if using) to the skillet, cooking for a few seconds without letting the garlic brown.

6

Add the lemon cut into small triangles to the skillet and cook for about 10 seconds.

7

Add the soaked berberechos to the skillet, a pinch of salt, and pour in the white wine.

8

Cover the skillet and cook on high heat for about 1 minute until the berberechos open up.

9

Once opened, turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
