Warm Cockle, clam and Potato Salad

Michel Roux Jr says "The taste of malt vinegar with clams and cockles takes me back to the wonderful seaside resorts in England. You can't beat it."

Cooking PotMETHOD

  1. Wash the cockles and clams in cold water then place in a very hot saucepan with one sliced shallot and the white wine.

  2. Cover and steam for 6-7 minutes until they have opened and are cooked. Drain and collect the cooking liquor.

  3. Put this on the boil and reduce by half then strain. Pick the cockles and clams.

  4. Wash and boil the potatoes in salted water. When cooked you can peel depending on taste. Toss whilst still warm with the cockle, clams, vinegar, oil, cooking liquor, chopped parsley and shallot. Season with a little pepper.
