Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 pound chorizo sausage, peeled and sliced thin
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced paper-thin
1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 3/4 cups Bhutanese red rice or Wehani rice
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 to 3 cups well-seasoned fish or chicken stock
40 fresh cockles or 24 little neck clams, scrubbed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a heavy ovenproof casserole with a lid, add sausage and cook over medium heat about 2 minutes. Add onion, cook until transparent but not brown, then stir in the garlic and chili flakes. Stir in the rice, thyme and bay leaves.
  • Add wine and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes, until most of it has evaporated. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock if using Bhutanese rice; 3 cups for Wehani rice. Bring to a boil, stir, then add cockles or clams.
  • Cover casserole, and place in oven. Cook Bhutanese rice about 15 minutes, until cockles or clams have opened and most of the liquid has been absorbed. The Wehani rice will take about 40 minutes.
  • When rice is done, remove casserole from oven and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes; serve directly from the casserole.

I used a different type of rice than the recipe called for, and it turned out fine. I think you could use any type of rice you like in this dish.

I'm not a big fan of cockles, so I substituted them with shrimp. The dish was still delicious, and the shrimp added a nice briny flavor.

This dish is delicious, but it's a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I would recommend making it on a weekend, when you have more time to cook.

I found that the rice was a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little more liquid, or cooking the rice for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chorizo, or omitting it altogether.
