Ingredients:

350g fresh cockles
4 thick bacon chops (about 140g each)
200g laver bread
30g butter
1 tsp salt

Method:

Place the cockles in a large bowl of water and swirl them every now and then with your hand to dislodge any sand. Rinse under plenty of cold running water and scrub clean. Meanwhile, warm a pan, add oil and fry the bacon for about 4 minutes per side, until ready.

Whilst the bacon is frying add the laver bread and butter to a small pan and gently toast. Meanwhile, add the cockles to a large saucepan along with a little water and the salt. Cover securely with a lid and boil rapidly, shaking the pan every now and then, until the cockles open. Discard any that remain closed.

Transfer the laver bread to 4 plates, place the bacon on top and add the cockles. Serve immediately.
