Might clams be the original fast food? Try them Catalan-style, with a white wine and wild garlic picada

 

When it comes to fast food, clams take the crown. There’s no fussy prep needed and they’re cooked in minutes. Here, I’ve given them a Catalan spin with a bread and nut picada to thicken the cooking juices, flavoured with chilli and wild garlic (which is now in season). If you can’t get your hands on any, fry a couple of garlic cloves with the bread instead, adding chopped parsley for colour and flavour. For full recipe follow this link.
