Clam with Cherry tomatoes, Bacon and White wine

Ingredients

  •  1000 grams clams
  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 5 strips smoky bacon
  • 3 tbsp coriander/ flat leaf parsley
  • 350 ml white wine(i use Sauvignon Blanc)
  • Black pepper
  • Salt

Instructions:

I must say that fresh clams and lobster are seasonal in the Indiasubcontinentnt. Summer is already here and it’s really going to be tough to get them. So, I wanted to have them so badly while they are available in the market.  These are small clamps which require some amount of effort in cleaning them. But at the end TRUST ME, You will love it and definitely not regret it.

Scrub & Wash the clamps to get rid of the dirt and sand. Make sure you identify and remove the open ones as they are not good anymore. You must soak them in clean water for 30 mins to an hour. This helps remove the sand from inside the clamps.

Cocktail Sausages  and Bacon with BBQ sauce 

Ingredients

  • 12 piece cocktail sausages
  • 6 piece streaky bacon
  • 1/3 cup Zz Homemade BBQ sauce
  • 12 toothpicks
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil/spray

Instructions: 

Cut the bacon strip into two vertical  strips.

Use each strip to wrap  the sausages. I am going to prepare 12 rolls here today which is cut out from the 6 pieces i have mentioned in the ingredients.

When you wrap it, make sure you keep the open edge face down so that it seals well. Also make  sure that you roll and place them directly on the pan which will be used to fry. I used my frying pan to prepare and cook them. Alternatively , you can use an oven for heating the same for 8-10 minutes at 400 degree F.

Apply  1/2 of the sauce on the sausages evenly. After 3-4 minutes of cooking , you can flip them upside down and apply the sauces on the left out portions. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes till its done. This is a real fast deal, it took me just 10 minutes to complete the whole thing. I serve them with a toothpick to make it easy pick up. It goes very well with my BBQ sauce.
