Clams and Beans is a delicious seafood dish, trust me! The combination really works and the flavour is amazing. It's often cooked by fishermen along the North & East Spanish coastline. This recipe is starter and also it's perfect like side dish with a whole grilled fish.

1. Drain the beans and set aside.

2. Wash the clams with cold water and place them in a bowl with plenty of salt to help cleaning.

3. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and when hot add the garlic and onion and stir until soft. Add the tomato and bay leaf and fry for a few minutes. Add the wine, water and clams drained, cover and gently shake the pan over high heat for 3 minutes or until the clams are open.

4. Uncover the pan and add the drained beans and pepper and stir gently for 5 more minutes.
