Ingredients List
- 6 slices of bread (for croutons)
- 90ml (6 tbsp) olive oil (divided)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Manzanilla sherry (or any dry sherry)
- A pinch of saffron threads
- 3 cups cooked white beans (or 2 cans, drained)
- 1.5kg fresh clams, cleaned
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 100g ham (preferably prosciutto or jamón serrano), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps
- Cut crusts from bread and tear into small pieces. Heat 60ml (1/4 cup) oil in a small frying pan over medium heat and toss bread for 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Cool.
- Combine sherry and saffron in a bowl. Heat remaining oil in a large, wide saucepan over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until just beginning to colour. Add sherry mixture and simmer until reduced by half, then add beans and cook until heated through. Add clams, cover with a lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until clams open. Toss through the parsley, ham and toasted crumbs, and serve immediately.
