Ingredients
- 2 pounds small littleneck clams
- Coarse salt, for soaking the clams
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 an onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika (pimenton)
- 1 tablespoon fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/2 glass Spanish white wine, such as Albarino
- 1/4 cup clam broth or natural clam juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- Crusty sourdough bread, for serving
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges, optional
Instructions
- Scrub the clams under cold running water, discarding any that fail to close to the touch. In a large bowl, combine the clams, a handful of coarse salt and enough water to cover the clams. Let stand for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours so that the clams release any sand trapped in their shells. Drain and set aside the clams.
- Then, in a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute, stirring often, until golden, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the paprika and breadcrumbs and saute a couple of minutes longer, until the ingredients are very fragrant and golden. Add the clams, white wine and clam broth. Cover and let steam for a few minutes, just until the clams open. Discard any clams that don't open.
- Check the broth for seasoning. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve the clams with their broth and some crusty sourdough bread on the side. Lemon wedges are optional.
