Razor Clams with Padron Peppers and Garlic

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Razor Clams

    Soak the razor clams in cold salted water for 30 minutes to remove sand. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Padron Peppers

    Wash the padron peppers and pat them dry. You can leave them whole or slice them in half.

  3. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Peppers

    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the padron peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to blister.

  4. 4

    Cook the Razor Clams

    Add the cleaned razor clams to the pan, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the clams have opened. Discard any that do not open.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove from heat, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the clams, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
