Clams in white wine with Iberian ham have an exquisite finish. Sherry wine is the right one for this recipe, as it goes well with seafood and ham, although the same result can be achieved with any fine white wine. It is important that the clams are fresh; they are so adaptable that they look great with an infinite number of ingredients.
This dish is light, tasty and satisfying. As a starter, accompanied by a simple garnish or even as a tapa, it is well received by diners who like the taste of seafood.
