Ingredients
- 2 slices day-old rustic-style bread
- 120ml olive oil
- 200ml manzanilla sherry (see note)
- Pinch saffron threads
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 400g can butter beans, drained, rinsed
- 2kg clams (vongole), rinsed well
- 1/2 cup torn flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 80g serrano ham or prosciutto, thinly sliced
Method
- 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.
