Portuguese Pork & Clam Stew image

This recipe caught my eye when it came to me in an email because pork shoulder & fresh clams are inexpensive, readily available & oh so very good. I have not paired them before but am eager to give it a go! I plan to bake this in the oven after browning the pork - will probably do 300 degree F - so will use my trusty enameled dutch oven for carefree cooking. Will serve with rice, a good chewy loaf to sop up wonderful stewiness & a green salad with a light vinagrette.

This stew is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it a day or two in advance, and it will still be delicious.

The stew was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.
