  1. Clams in White Wine with Garlic & Butter

    Ingredients :

    • 1 lb (500g) fresh clams, cleaned

    • 3 tbsp (50g) butter

    • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil

    • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced

    • 1 colorful bell pepper (mixed colors, e.g., red,

    yellow, orange), diced

    • 1 sprig thyme

    • 1 cup (300ml) dry white wine

    • Zest of 1 lime

    • Medium bunch fresh parsley, chopped

    • Salt & pepper to taste

    Instructions:

    1) Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over

    medium. Add garlic, colorful bell peppers, and

    thyme; sauté until fragrant (1-2 min).

    2) Pour in white wine, add lime zest, and bring to a

    simmer.

    3) Add clams, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and

    cook 4-6 min, stirring once, until clams open.

    Discard any unopened clams.

    4) Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.

    5) Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious

    sauce!

    Wine Pairing Tip: Stick with a Sauvignon Blanc to

    match the lime zest’s brightness, or a lightly oaked

    Chardonnay for the rich sauce.

    How did the thyme and lime zest combo turn out for

    you? Any other tweaks you’d recommend? 😊
