Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato (clams, garlic, olive oil and wine)

white wine

🥗Healthier: sparkling water

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Sparkling water maintains some acidity without alcohol.

clams

🥗Healthier: mussels

💰Cheaper: canned clams

Mussels are often less expensive and easier to find.

Rinse clams a few times and soak in salted water for 3-4 hours (or up to 8 hours or overnight).

Add 2 tablespoons of salt for every liter of water used for soaking.

Chop garlic and cilantro in preparation.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a hot pan.

Add chopped garlic to the pan and a little salt and black pepper, cooking until garlic starts to brown.

Add clams to the pan and pour in 1/4 cup of white wine.

Cook clams for about 5-10 minutes until all shells open up.

Finish with chopped cilantro and serve with a wedge of lemon and crusty bread.
