Quick Clam Stew (2-4)

These delicious oily and garlicky clams are from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. They can be served as a starter or a main. Instead of the chickpeas they can be tossed with pasta, or served with grilled bread or chips.

Langoustines with Roast Lemon Butter (2-4)

In June 2021, as the UK was beginning to venture out after our third Lockdown, we made our first visit to Northumberland to walk the coast path from Cresswell to Berwick on Tweed. A foodie highlight of the trip for me was the langoustines I had at The Fish Shack in Amble where we had to plead for an early table to get a look in. They are very good served with mayonnaise , but I also like this recipe from ” butter” by James Martin. And I could probably manage the whole lot myself.
