Pour yourself a glass of cold fino. Have a sip, let the dry saltiness tease your tongue.
Dinner for two for €3 (including drinks), prepared in 10 minutes. Fry a finely chopped onion until clear. Increase the heat, then add the almejas - otherwise known as clams, witmossels or palourdes - in a hot pan with two cloves of finely sliced garlic. Cover, apply more heat, shaking the pan occasionally to mix them around.
Have some more of the sherry. I should drink this more often.
Within a few minutes the shells will start popping open, releasing their juice. Add a handful of miscellaneous herbs and the zest of half a lemon. Cover again, for maybe a minute at the most. Shake again. Kill the flame, add the pasta, the juice of one lemon and a generous dash of olive oil. Stir.
Take another sip, then serve.
Last night I once again realized how much I enjoy cooking things. And eating them. And sherry.
