Step 1: You will need

  • 80 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 24 clams, scrubbed
  • 4 hake steaks
  • 120 ml dry white wine
  • 8 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 medium tomato, deseeded and diced
  • black pepper
  • 1 low-sided casserole dish with lid
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 tray
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 spoon

Step 2: Heat the oil

Pour the oil into the casserole dish and place it over medium heat.

Step 3: Cook the garlic

Add the garlic and cook until it turns slightly brown.

Step 4: Add the seafood and white wine

Add the hake, clams and the white wine and continue cooking with a lid on.

Step 5: Cook for 8-10 minutes

Leave it to cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the clams have fully opened. Season with black pepper. After this time, also check the texture of the hake. It should be ‘flaky' rather than bouncy.

Step 6: Remove the fish, add parsley and tomato

Remove the hake and put it to one side then add the parsley and the tomatoes stir to combine.

Step 7: Season and serve

Finally taste if there is any seasoning needed, pour the sauce over the fish and serve with a crisp, cold Spanish cider.
