CHORIZO STEAMED CLAMS



Chorizo Steamed Clams image

I have always just called these chorizo steamed clams, 'Spanish Clams,' since it seems like there's some variation of this on every Spanish restaurant menu I've ever seen. Sometimes they use beer, or white wine, or sherry; and many varieties of clams can be used. But the common denominator is the spicy, Spanish-style chorizo. I like to serve steamed clams with grilled bread.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup finely diced onions
3 ounces Spanish chorizo sausage, quartered lengthwise, cut into1/4-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups white wine
3 pounds littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed
⅓ cup chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place large pot over medium heat; add olive oil. Stir in diced onion; cook and stir until onions begin to turn translucent, 3 or 4 minutes. Add chorizo; cook and stir to render some fat, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour in white wine.
  • Raise heat to high and bring liquid to a boil. Immediately add clams and distribute evenly. Cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes. During this time you can occasionally shake the pot to "stir" the clams using potholders or a kitchen towel to hold the pot handles. It's best not to open the lid and stir.
  • When clams have opened, remove pot from heat. Stir in butter and parsley; allow butter to melt. Serve clams in heated bowls with lots of the liquid.

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces raw pork chorizo
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 small white onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tequila
3/4 cup clam juice
2 pounds littleneck or other small clams, scrubbed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 loaf sourdough bread

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy, medium pot over medium heat. Add the chorizo, breaking up the large pieces with a wooden spoon. Saute until almost crisp, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to paper towels to drain.
  • Add the butter and onions and cook over medium-high heat until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes longer. Add the tequila and clam juice and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, scraping up the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Add the clams to the pot, cover and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the clams open wide, 10 to 12 minutes (discard any clams that remain unopened). Return the chorizo to the pot and stir to combine. Divide between 2 bowls, sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and serve with the loaf of sourdough.

PORTUGUESE STEAMED CLAMS



Portuguese Steamed Clams image

Being of Portuguese descent and raised in Rhode Island along the Eastern seaboard, this recipe is a wonderful combination of my two heritages. If desired serve with a small cup of melted butter for dipping clams and don't forget a fresh loaf of warm, crusty bread!!! Note: If the clams seem sandy, soak them for a couple of hours or overnight in the refrigerator in salted water with a bit of vinegar, cornmeal, and cayenne pepper.
