Machas a la parmesana

Machas a la parmesana is one of the Chilean seafood dishes for the locals. Unlike many European meals that have become internationally known and are now readily available in every corner of the globe, many of these meals are unknown beyond the borders of Chile. That is this Machas a la parmesana.

Since Chile boasts an incredible length of coastline, machas are a native saltwater clam found along the coast of Chile. For this dish, clams are marinated with butter, white wine, garlic a little lemon and parmesan cheese then baked to perfection. You may also find this dish using razor clams.And  if you are at the right place, the clams will likely be deliciously textured and fresh.
