STEAMED COCKLES (NATURAL COCKLES) - Lareiras.gal

Steamed cockles, or natural cockles, open to steam, are not made with wine, or with oil, or garlic, etc. We just need a hot pot or pan and the cockles.
The most natural cockles I took in my life were the ones I took on the beach when I was little. When we bathed we dug a little in the sand with our feet and cockles came out handfuls. Well, the fact is that we opened them against each other and ate them right there, at sea.
Of course that was before, now there are the closed seasons, and the shellfish catchers that have to make a living. That is why we cannot play with the resources of others, that everyone has the right to earn their bread honestly.
To open them at home and cook them a little, there are those who do not like raw, we have to wash them to release the sands. We put them under running water and then leave them in salt water for several hours to drink and release the sands. If necessary, we change the water as many times as it takes until it comes out clean.
Finally, cockles are placed directly in a fairly hot pan and, with the liquid they release themselves, it is enough for them to open.
They are exquisite !!

Lo primero gracias por sus vídeos y lo segundo, sería posible añadir en la tabla nutricional el sodio?
Soy hipertensa y tengo que controlar la sal hasta del agua que bebo.
FELIZ 2021 🥂

Mejor que agua con sal, agua con gas. No mueren y sueltan la tierra rápidamente y sin alterar el sabor

[@Lareira]

El agua con sal no altera el sabor, ya que viven en agua de mar. Simplemente, los engaña y hace que sigan bebiendo y expulsando arena, y no mueren. Mucho más efectivo que si estuviesen en una depuradora. Lo de la muerte sí se produce si los dejas demasiadas horas, pero si los vigilas un poco y ves que siguen escupiendo agua (a veces llega hasta las paredes), es que están vivos. No hay que dejarlos demasiado tiempo, sólo vigilar un poco. Un saludo.
