Recipe of Clams with mussels
Vida Recetas Editorial
Clams with mussels is a classic seafood dish that combines the sweetness of clams with the firm texture of mussels in a light sauce of garlic, onion, and parsley. This recipe, originating from Spanish cuisine, is ideal for those seeking authentic sea flavor without complications. The key is the sofrito of onion and garlic, which provides a perfect aromatic base for the shellfish to release their juices. At the end, a touch of flour slightly thickens the broth, creating a silky sauce that clings to every bite.
This dish is perfect as an appetizer or light main course, served with crusty bread for dipping in the sauce. Its preparation is simple (easy difficulty) and takes less than 30 minutes, making it a great option for a weekday meal or a special dinner. There are variations that add white wine or chili for an extra kick, but this traditional version respects the natural flavor of the seafood. If you like marine flavors, do not hesitate to try this combination of clams and mussels.
