Clams Vongole Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preparing the clams

   Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit, then place them in a bowl of fresh water to soak for about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Sautéing the garlic

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

   Cooking the clams

   Add the soaked clams to the skillet. Pour in the white soy sauce and stir to combine. Cover the skillet and let the clams steam for about 5-7 minutes or until they have opened.

4. 4

   Adding hijiki

   Once the clams are open, add the soaked hijiki seaweed to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

   Finishing touches

   Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
