Directions:

  2. Add the shallots, garlic, half the cilantro, half the ginger and half the chilli and cook over a medium heat until the shallots have softened without colouring.
  3. Add the wine and the bay leaves and increase the heat. Bring to the boil and add the clams.
  4. Cover the pan and cook over a brisk heat, shaking the pan from time to time, for between 3 - 5 minutes or until the clams have opened.
