Ingredients

0%

• 1½ kg Clams

🧈 50g Butter

🥓 150g Bacon

🧅 1 finely chopped Onion

🌿 sprigs of fresh Thyme

• 1 Bay Leaf

🌾 1 tbls Plain Flour

🥛 150ml Milk

🧈 150ml Double Cream

• 2 medium Potatoes

🌿 Chopped Parsley

Bring the Clams to room temperature before it meets the pan. Cold ingredients into hot fat is the fastest way to ruin texture.

In United States, this dish is built around what the garden had that morning. Stay loose with the cast.

A starter sets the meal. Small portions, clean flavours, hot food hot and cold food cold. The kitchen sins of the night happen here.
