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 4

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. When the olive oil is hot, add the meat without the marinade (reserve the marinade) and fry on a medium-low heat until the meat start to turn slightly golden, stirring occasionally.

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.
