The recipe that we present today is very good and is very typical in this spring-summer season, especially for terraces and bars in southern Spain in the form of caps: coquinas with garlic and wine.
Those who love the taste of the sea, mollusks and shellfish, you will find in this dish a very special delicatessen to try both at lunch and dinner. And if you serve it with a glass of white wine, all the better ...
It is a simple recipe to make, light to digest, it only needs 4 or 5 ingredients and it has few calories. What more can we ask for? Last year we left you the same recipe but this time it was with clams, also very tasty. If you want or prefer the flavor of clams, go to this link.

Ingredients
- 1 kg of coquinas
- 180 ml of white wine
- 9 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil
- Parsley to taste
Preparation
- We take a frying pan and pour in it a drizzle of olive oil, the necessary to fry and brown the garlic. They should be browned and not overly done, because if they are not they will give our food a bitter taste.
- When the garlic is tender, we throw the coquinas, and we hope that they will open on their own with the help of the heat. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
- When they are open, we pour the 180 ml of white wine and we add a little parsley to taste. We let the flavors mix and the alcohol in the wine evaporate, at medium temperature for another 5-8 minutes.
- And we set aside. We can now serve our coquinas with garlic and wine.
