Ingredients
to recalculate the ingredient amounts
- Arselle (clams) 1000 g
- Garlic 15 g
- Parsley 20 g
- Breadcrumbs 300 g
- Extra virgin olive oil 30 ml
- Salt 8 g
Instructions
- 1 To prepare arselle alla schiscionera, start by soaking the clams in a bowl of salted water for 2 hours before cooking. When purchasing them, make sure they are already purged to speed up this step.
- 2 After 2 hours, rinse the clams well under running water and check them one by one to make sure none are empty or full of sand or mud. To do this, lightly tap them on the work surface — if you see black mud coming out, discard them.
- 3 Finely chop the parsley and, in a large pan, sauté the olive oil with two crushed garlic cloves.
- 4 Remove the garlic and add the drained clams. Stir well and let everything cook for 10–15 minutes.
- 5 Finish with chopped parsley and, if you like, a sprinkle of breadcrumbs. Serve the Arselle alla schiscionera with slices of toasted bread.
