These delicious oily and garlicky clams are from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. They can be served as a starter or a main. Instead of the chickpeas they can be tossed with pasta, or served with grilled bread or chips.

Another unusual combination from Ixta Belfrage in ” Mezcla”. The onions can be used in other recipes too- they can be served as a dip mixed with labne or yoghurt, spooned on top of sour cream topped baked potatoes, over eggs or in sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs. This recipe can be served as part of a vegetarian spread or with sausages.
