Hamburguesa de Almejas is a flavorful and low-carb twist on the classic burger, featuring tender clams mixed with aromatic herbs and spices. This keto-friendly dish captures the essence of Spanish cuisine while remaining light and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Fresh clams - 300 grams
• Ground beef (80/20) - 150 grams
• Almond flour - 30 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Sliced tomatoes - 1 medium

Steps

1. Clean the clams thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any grit.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the clams (chopped), ground beef, almond flour, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two burger patties, ensuring they are compact and hold together.
4. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes for serving.
6. Once the patties are done, assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a lettuce leaf, topped with tomato slices. Serve immediately.
