Clams in shell - a must
Has anyone tried cooking this in a cataplana (the two-sided, hinged copper Portuguese cooking vessel, kind of a prototype pressure cooker)? Seems like it ought to be possible...
I have a Cataplana and have made things very similar to this in it. Can confirm it 100% would work.
Easy and absolutely delicious. We usually swap the lobster for monk fish, which is less expensive, or scallops if they’re on sale. Otherwise follow the recipe exactly. Been making it for years!
