Steps:
- Season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper, and set aside on a plate for 10 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven or a large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, and cook, flipping once, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer pork chops to a plate, and cover with parchment paper and then foil to keep warm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Stir in tomatoes, onion, garlic, a pinch of salt, the bay leaves, paprika, and red-pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes and onion have softened, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Add wine, and raise heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up browned bits. Stir in stock. Return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, and add clams to pot. Cover, and cook until clams open, 3 to 5 minutes (discard any that have not opened after 5 minutes). Discard bay leaves.
- Return pork chops to pot. Turn to coat with sauce, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer pork chops and clams to a deep platter, and pour broth over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut 1/4 inch off tops of garlic heads and put heads, cut sides up, on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and wrap tightly in foil, then roast in oven until garlic is soft when pierced with tip of a knife, about 45 minutes.
- While garlic roasts, heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add bay leaves and cook, stirring, until leaves begin to brown, about 10 seconds. Reduce heat to moderate, then add onion, carrot, celery, and chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, cloves, red-pepper flakes, and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil, then add broth and reserved clam juice. Simmer, uncovered, until reduced to about 2 cups, about 15 minutes.
- While tomato sauce simmers, squeeze pulp from garlic cloves and force through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl using a rubber spatula, discarding solids. Whisk purée into tomato sauce. Discard bay leaves and cloves, then keep sauce warm while grilling chops.
- Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
- Pat pork chops dry and sprinkle on both sides with salt. Grill pork chops on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of a chop (do not touch bone) registers 145°F, 12 to 14 minutes total. Transfer chops to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
- Add clams to sauce and cook just until clams plump and edges begin to curl, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir parsley into sauce along with any meat juices accumulated on plate.
- Serve chops topped with clams and sauce.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops. Look for chops that are thick and evenly cut, with a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they stay tender and juicy during cooking.
- Use a variety of clams. Little neck clams, cherrystone clams, and Manila clams are all good choices for this dish. You can also use a combination of different types of clams.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're using a lot of clams, cook them in batches so that they don't steam instead of sautéing.
- Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will add brightness and acidity to the dish.
- Season the broth well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs to create a flavorful broth.
- Simmer the pork chops and clams until they are cooked through. The pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and the clams should be cooked until they open.
- Serve the pork chops and clams with crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Pork chops and clams in garlic broth is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender pork chops, briny clams, and flavorful broth is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
