My
Favorite dish is Razor Clams with Parmesan Cheese.
For
this delicious dish you need 1kg. of fresh razor clams, a little of white wine,
grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and butter, at taste. And if you
want to know, they are easy to prepare: you just have to open them with a
sturdy knife, clean the tongue, was away any sand or any black substance at the
base, put them back on the half shell, add butter, the grated parmesan and a
little of garlic, white wine and lemon juice, at taste. Bake them in a hot oven
for a few minutes, and enjoy. When razor clams are cooked, they turn pink and
that why they are also called "Pink Clams"
This
dish is one of the classics of Chilean cuisine, and it was created 50 years ago
in Viña del Mar by an Italian immigrant called Edoardo Melotti
Ferrari.http://eatingchile.blogspot.com/2009/06/machas-la-parmesana.html. Even
though, there is no reference of razor clams before the 1950s in Chile,
archeologists refer to "the Machas Phase" 10.600 to 8.000 years before
present based on findings in coastal middens (conchales) of southern coastal
Peru, at that time.
I like them because they remind me of my childhood, when it
was possible to find them on the beach, in Tongoy, and harvesting them together
with my family was great fun. I eat them in the summer, with a cup of good
white wine and toasted bread, for Easter or May 21st, with family and friends.
And you? Would you like to try them?
