Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, bay leaves, and guajillo chili; sauté until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add clams and sauté 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup parsley. Add Sherry and lemon juice. Increase heat to medium-high, cover, and simmer until clams open (discard any that do not open), about 8 minutes. Transfer clams to shallow bowl. Boil sauce until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over clams. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and serve.
- Available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will have a briny, salty flavor and a firm texture. Avoid clams that are cracked or have open shells.
- Soak the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
- Use a dry white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine will add a bright, acidic flavor to the sauce. Avoid using a sweet wine, as it will make the sauce too sweet.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the sauce. Lemon juice will help to brighten the flavor of the sauce and balance out the richness of the butter and cream.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Clams in sherry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The clams are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
