Artichokes with clams

Ingredients (4 people)

16 artichokes
½ kg clams
30 g flour
200 ml cava
100 g lemon
5 g parsley
1 clove of garlic
Salt


Preparation

Clean the artichokes by removing the outer leaves, the tip and the stem. Cut into quarters and squeeze a little lemon over them to prevent them from oxidising. Put the clams in a bowl of cold water and enough salt for them to release the grit.

Place in water in a casserole dish over the flame and add a little salt. Cook the artichokes over a medium heat until tender (for approximately 15 minutes). Remove and put to one side.  


Put some oil in a frying pan and sauté the chopped garlic. Add the flour, stir a little and introduce the drained clams. Add the cava and leave to simmer until the clams open. Add the artichokes to the frying pan and leave them for a few minutes while the flavours blend. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
