[AU] Clams - Made by Mandy

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
1 kg Cloudy Bay Clams
400 g tinned cherry tomatoes
3/4 cup Te Mata Estate Sauvignon Blanc, plus extra to serve
Handful of basil
Handful of parsley, finely chopped
Sourdough bread, to serve

Method

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add garlic and chilli flakes and cook, stirring regularly, for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 2
Next, add the tinned tomatoes, white wine, chopped parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. If you have more time, you can cook for longer.
Step 3
Add the Cloudy Bay Clams, cover, and cook until they start to open, about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl and garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with crusty sourdough.
Pair with Te Mata Estate's Sauvignon Blanc for that crisp and refreshing finish - it’s a dinner party sensation!
