Method

1. Place the cockles in a bowl of cold water, agitating them every so often with your hand to loosen any sand, then rinse under clean running water for 5 minutes.

2. Preheat a lightly oiled grill or griddle pan and cook the bacon chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.

3. Meanwhile, put the laver bread into a pan with a knob of butter and gently toast.

4. Put the cockles into a large saucepan with a little water and the salt, cover and cook on a high heat, shaking the pan every so often, until the cockles open. Discard any that do not open, then drain.

5. Spoon the laver bread on to 4 serving plates, place a bacon chop on each and scatter over the cockles.
