  Connermara razor clam

 

There is ntermittent supply of razor clam from Connermara area, nice marine taste. I like to soak them for half a day to let them empty their stomach of sand, change water once and keep them vertical for another half an hour to release excess water before cooking.

1. Make a salty solution, add a tsp whole meal flour, some rice wine to perfume, soak razor clam for a couple hours. Repeat.

2. Half an hour before cooking, arrange razor clams vertical in a container to release water, turnover half way.

3. Place razor clams in baking tray, turbo grill at 200˚C for 7 minutes for just cooked effect.

4. Make a sauce of 1part soy sauce with 3 parts liquid in the baking tray, brown sugar, parsley, chili, olive oil, bring to boil and pour on top of grilled razor clams.
