Categories     Clam     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow or white onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 ounces Chorizo (page 24)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 small bay leaf, crumbled
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
2 pounds clams, mussels, or a mixture, scrubbed and mussels debearded if needed

Steps:

  • In a large pot or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Crumble the chorizo into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to firm, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaf, wine, and water and bring to a boil. Cover partially and cook until the liquid is reduced and the mixture is saucy, 5 minutes.
  • Add the shellfish to the pan, cover all the way, and cook until the shells open and their meat is slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Discard any shellfish that fail to open, then serve right away.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. Other than that, it was a good dish.
