Pugliese Fresh Clams and
Mussels in White Wine

This is my favorite recipe for Clams and Mussels.
This is a quick, simple and delicious meal
which can be prepared with clams and/or mussels.
Serve this delicious dish immediately with
crusty Italian bread for dipping.

Directions:
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, preferably Puglian, raw and uncooked
1 lb clams, scrubbed and washed
1 lb mussels, scrubbed and debearded
3 medium shallots, minced
2 medium size Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Garnish with lemon wedges

Directions:
Over a high heat, heat the oil in skillet and add the mussels,
clams and shallot and stir for about 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and wine and occasionally stir
until the mussels and clams open.
Transfer the mussels and clams to serving dish
with a slotted spoon so that juices remain in skillet.
Add the butter and parsley and
cook the liquid down slightly.
Pour sauce over claims and serve immediately.
