Marrakech Clam Bowl

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, lemon, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the celery in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the clam and let it rustic, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the vegetable stock and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
