Panzanella with tellines

A delicious seafood variation on a classic Italian simple dish just elevates this for a relaxed dinner or get-together with friends – all the flavours of the Mediterranean in each bite.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of rustic or sourdough bread (1 cm thick)
  • 200g of canned whole peeled tomatoes, cut into dice
  • 800g tellines (wedge clams)
  • salt
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • a few sprigs of parsley
  • a few leaves of basil
  • 1 Italian chilli pepper

Directions

Step 1

Open the tellines in a frying pan with the extra virgin olive oil, garlic and chilli pepper. Once they are open, remove from their shells and put them to one side.

Step 2

In another frying pan, cook the diced tomatoes with the basil, seasoned with a little salt, for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and turn off the heat.

Step 3

Toast the bread slices lightly in the over for a few minutes until just golden. Then add the tomato sauce, the tellines on top of the sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.
