Steps forEdward Delling-Williams 'clams, smoked aioli & obione
- Prepare the clams: drain and clean the clams by soaking them in salted water to remove the sand.
- Prepare an aioli: peel, degerm and crush the garlic cloves. Place the garlic puree in a bowl, add the egg yolk, season and mix. Pour in the oil a little at a time, whisking briskly. Add the lemon juice and smoked paprika.
- Cooking the clams: cook the clams in a covered pan with just a little wine, the onion and a bunch of chopped parsley, until the shells open. A few minutes is all it takes.
- Finishing: in the bowl of a food processor, mix the aioli with the cooking juices, then whip to an emulsion.
- Serving: serve the clams in a soup plate, pour over the aioli emulsion, add a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with a few obione leaves.
A word from the chef:
" This recipe was created for the opening of the restaurant. It embodies both the salty meadows and fishing on foot typical of the Manche region, and the twists from elsewhere that we like to introduce with the smoked paprika aioli with its more Mediterranean flavor. "
