Our Pairing Suggestion
Galicia, in northwestern Spain, isn't just home to much of Spain's fishing industry; it also produces vibrant, citrusy white wines from the Albariño grape. Albariños are a great accompaniment to any kind of shellfish (much like a squeeze of lemon).
Recipe: Gwyneth's Clams
- FAST
- HEALTHY
Ingredients
- 4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1 head of garlic, halved horizontally
- 3 bay leaves, preferably fresh
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine, preferably Albariño
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Crusty bread, for serving
- Put the clams, garlic, bay leaves and wine in a large skillet. Bring the wine to a boil over moderately high heat. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the clams open, about 10 minutes; discard any clams that don't open. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the clams to 4 bowls. Stir the olive oil into the broth, and then pour over the clams. Serve hot, with crusty bread.
