About Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato
Visit Portugal publishes this amêijoas à Bulhão Pato from Lisbon’s tourism and hotel school, based on Maria de Lourdes Modesto’s traditional recipes. Clams, garlic, olive oil and coriander form its compact ingredient base.
Lemon juice finishes the clam mixture, while salt and pepper provide seasoning. The garlic and chopped coriander flavour the oil around the shellfish.
The clams are presented in their opened shells with the lemon-and-herb cooking juices. Remaining lemon quarters accompany the plate, giving this named Portuguese preparation its simple shellfish presentation.
