running water gets rid of the sort of grain sometimes a bit sand little bit clay in there but honestly the cleaner the clam the more delicious it is fresh parsley a little bit of tapenade shallots capers look at these beans a little bit of a spanish flair going through these beans they're canned they've been rinsed drizzled with olive oil salt pepper chili flakes salt pepper fresh lemon and this baby here sherry vinegar right let's have 10 minutes on the clock and i mean 10 minutes don't you dare be a shellfish bastard right pan nice and hot get that smoking okay i want to flavor these clams with a little bit of garlic i said a bit of a spanish flake out here garlic in okay salt in lightly olive oil in lightly beautiful toast that garlic toast toast toast now once that garlic starts taking color we want the lid okay when we compact the lid on top of the pan it makes those clams burst open with flavor here we go clams in in quickly with the lid give that a good shake you're

the juicy they are you don't cook these things for six seven minutes at a time they're gonna go really rubbery now the bread push that down get some char on there okay if it's not working just hit it with a touch more olive oil and that will get it smoking and charring take the back of the spoon and push that in i want flavor on that bread over nice over nice beautiful again push it down now as

tapenade this tapenade is basically a nice black olive puree okay and it's done with olives and anchovies and you just spread that on that side the crispier side on back of the spoon and it's so rustic and charming it is delicious on and that nice freshness from that olive paste is beautiful now lighten the load a little bit okay i've got a sort of beautiful shallot i'm going to slice these
