HOW TO MAKE PORTUGUESE PORK WITH CLAMS

Step 1: Soak the clams in water seasoned with salt about 1 to 2 hours. Wash them under running water before cooking.

Step 2: Season the meat with salt, pepper, sweet red pepper paste, grated garlic, bay leaf and white wine. Mix everything and marinate for about two hours.

Step 3: Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into cubes and fry in hot oil. Turn off the heat and place the potatoes on a platter with absorbent paper; set aside.

Step 5: Add the marinade to the skillet and boil for one to two minutes. Add the clams, stir, cover the skillet and cook until the clams start to open.

Step 6: Turn off the heat, add the potatoes and sprinkle with chopped coriander. Mix carefully and serve immediately.
