Steamed Clams with Spicy Italian Sausage and Fennel

This vibrant dish of steamed clams with spicy Italian sausage and fennel is a wonderful way to enjoy fresh seafood with a Mediterranean twist. The sweetness of the sliced fennel bulb and red peppers perfectly balances the heat from the crumbled sausage, while the clam juice creates a light, savoury broth that feels truly indulgent. It is a fantastic option for a quick midweek supper that brings a touch of coastal elegance to your dining table.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this meal is naturally low in carbohydrates and packed with high-quality protein and essential minerals. The fennel seeds and fresh oregano provide a depth of flavour that minimises the need for added salt, making it a heart-healthy choice. Serve this aromatic one-pan wonder in deep bowls to capture every drop of the delicious juices, perhaps with a side of steamed greens.
