Squid and clams with chilli


Some of nigella's most successful recipes are the simple asian flavour dishes and this another one of those.  Very and quick to make, with only a few key ingredients, and yet the end result has the flavour of a seemingly much more complex dish.  I recommend this to anyone to try.

- Rinse 600g clams under a cold tap, throwing any that are cracked, damaged or stay open.
- Slice 4 large squid or 10 small ones, into rings.
- Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide pan on a high heat, and when hot, add 4 cloves chopped garlic, and 1 chopped dried chilli.
- Stir, then add the squid, cooking for about 1 min.
- Add the clams along with 250ml sake and 250ml water.
- Cook with the lid on for 4-5 mins, shaking a couple of times.
- Check the clams have all opened, pour into a large bowl and serve sprinkled with parsley or thai basil.
