sourcing
procedure
- Heat the oil in a deep sauté pan (with a lid) over high heat and add the clams, cover, and shake the pan well. Let sit until the clams begin to open, 1–3 minutes.
- Add white wine and cover again. Cook for another 2 minutes util clams are fully open.
- Remove from the heat, uncover, and add the salsa verde (off the heat so that the color stays bright green).
- Swirl the pan to coat the clams evenly with the salsa.
- Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon wedge on top, then plate the clams.
- Sprinkle the parsley and dill leaves on top of the clams.
- Garnish with a grilled lemon half.
- Serve with 2 slices grilled bread (same bread as morunos)
critical control points
- The dill & parsley is a nice, healthy garnish-- but not too much!! Too much and the experience is more akin to grass clippings .....and, you know, that's not really what we're going for. :)
- This does not need to be served on a board, please bring to tables on the silicone trivet
