Ingredients
- 7 oz fresh winkles (200 g)
- 2 small fresh spring onions
- 1 large garlic clove
- ½ tsp tomato paste
- 1 glass dry white wine
- ½ tsp dried herbs
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- smoked paprika powder
- salt
Instructions
-
First of all pour the winkles in a sieve or colander and rinse them very well. Then let them drain for 5 minutes and rinse them again. Repeat this 3 more times.
-
Peel the garlic clove and chop it up finely. Then add it to a medium non-stick pan together with the olive oil and the bay leaf.
-
Place the pan over medium heat until the oil is hot and gently cook the garlic in the oil for 3 minutes. Then add the tomato paste and a pinch of smoked paprika.
-
Stir and cook for 3 minutes. Then add the rinsed and drained winkles to the warm pan.
-
Sprinkle with the dried herbs. Turn the heat high now and pour in the white wine. Season with a pinch of salt.
-
Stir the winkles a little until the wine sauce starts to boil. Then put a lid on the pan and let the winkles vigorously cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. In the meantime slice the spring onions up finely. Add them to the cooked winkles in the end. Stir well and cook until the tomato sauce is glossy. Then check the seasoning and add extra smoked paprika or salt to taste if necessary.
-
Let the winkles cook for another minute. Then take the pan off the heat and pour the winkles and the tomato sauce in small bowls or onto deep plates. Serve immediately.
