PALOURDES & PRAIRES

21/2/2016

Palourdes and Praires
 
Digging the beach sand for salty delicacies is one of my passion.
I can't stop digging out from the salted sand the local clams called Palourdes and Praires 
I do have a special tool made in Brittany and it is just perfect !
Here is how I cook Palourdes and Praires in the most simple way.

 
 
Ingredients :
 
Fresh Palourdes or Praires
A small bouquet of parsley
Fresh pepper
Fresh thyme
​Olive oil

 
Methods
 
If you buy it, be sure that they are closed, not broken, it is a proof that it is fresh.
Wash them with a lot of fresh water, don't soak them.
Throw them in a big pan with 1/2 glass of water on medium heat.
Add the parsley finely chopped.
Shake the pan vigorously several times.
It will take approx. 3 minutes
Once they are all opened, drain the palourdes.
 
You can eat it strait away with few drops of olive oil, drizzled with fresh thyme
(flowers as well) and fresh pepper.

 
Buddy it up with fresh pasta or fresh green salad.

    I wish to share with you my  cuisine. For me cooking is cultivating an art as delicate 
    as it is succulent.
    It gives  l'amour de la vie, heals and softens the abrupt edges of life. 
    I love comments and feedback, and please, don't hesitate to share as well your best recipes with us, write them in Contact and it will be posted
