Pizza de Almejas is a delightful gluten-free Spanish pizza topped with fresh clams, vibrant tomatoes, and aromatic herbs. Its unique flavors and crispy base make it a perfect dish for seafood lovers and a great addition to any meal.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free pizza dough - 200 grams
• Fresh clams - 200 grams, cleaned
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Lemon - 1, for zest and juice

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Roll out the gluten-free pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the cleaned clams to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to open, then add the halved cherry tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
6. Remove from heat, and stir in the chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
7. Spread the clam and tomato mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
