Point in check
This time, I used frozen Calms and saved time and did not use time for the calms to spit the sand out. 360 g of calms was quite a volume to eat. Usually, the pasta used is 60g~70g,but this time I used a little more for my lunch. I tried to create a harmony with onion, garlic and mushroom, and made the taste stronger with cooking sake, topped with parsley. We devised a way to spread the taste of the main clams to the whole, well.
Personal Comments
This Clams Ajillo dish can be completed as a recipe without the pasta. I blended the parsley and pasta to create a unique taste. Although, the cooking time was short, the taste was quite strong. I was worried if the parsley was too significant, and it did leave a strong impact. Choosing ingrediencies which leaves a strong taste such as garlic, hot pepper and onion to do the basics, followed by calms and cooking sake, I could have added butter to make the taste milder, but this time I did not.
