Method
- 1
Toss the pork with half the garlic and a splash of the white wine, and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- 2
Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the diced potatoes for 12-15 minutes, turning often, until golden and tender. Lift out and set aside.
- 3
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot and brown the pork well, about 8 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and pour in the rest of the wine.
- 4
Add the clams, cover and cook for 5-6 minutes until the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining and the clams have opened. Discard any clams that stay shut.
- 5
Stir in the fried potatoes and coriander and serve hot.
