Important notes
How to choose good tissreo?
The tisreo must be tightly shut shells if the shells are open that means they have gone bad.However if a shell is open and you tap on it gentlyand if closes immediately that shows that the clam is fresh and safe to consume.Also it should not have a foul/bad odor.Tisreo should have a salty ocean like fresh odour.
How to clean tisryo?
Open the tisreo using a knife,but one has to be very careful.Just use the pointed end of the knife in the slit between the( shell two sides)
In this recipe I have boiled them for just a little while till they open up,Do not over boil as all the tasty juices will be lost.
The best way is to Freeze the clams for 45 mins,they will open up on their own.The tisreo has to be cleaned really well as there may be some sand and grit.
