SPICY CLAM CHORIZO PASTA



Spicy Clam Chorizo Pasta image

Clams work their way into plenty of dishes in the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, which is where the chef Pati Jinich picked up this recipe for pasta con salsa picante de chorizo y almejas. The dish, which she featured on an episode of her PBS show, "Pati's Mexican Table," is a nod to the prized clams that are harvested in and around the coastal lagoons on Mexico's Pacific shores. It pays homage to the surf-and-turf dishes in Tijuana, where cooks find seemingly endless ways to mix meat and seafood on a single plate. The dish takes its aggressive heat from chorizo and chiles de arbol, but it can be dialed down by substituting 1/2 teaspoon or less of red-pepper flakes. The beer in the dish is Ms. Jinich's nod to the craft-beer boom in Baja.

Time 45m

Yield 4 large servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 to 5 dozen small littleneck clams
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed and filling chopped
1 cup finely chopped white onion
5 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
2 chiles de arbol, stemmed and chopped (keep the seeds), plus more to taste
1 cup light beer
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or to taste
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon honey
1 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse and scrub the clams under cold water, making sure they are closed and unbroken. Discard any that aren't closed. Drain well.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large pot or casserole with a lid set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chorizo, breaking it into smaller pieces with 2 wooden spatulas or spoons, and fry until it begins to crisp and brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
  • Add the 2 remaining tablespoons of olive oil to the rendered chorizo fat and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for a couple of minutes until softened. Add the garlic and chile de arbol and cook for a minute, until the garlic is fragrant and the chile de arbol begins to toast. Pour in the beer, add the salt, and once it comes to a simmer, incorporate the drained clams. Let it come to a simmer again, cover with a lid, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally to help distribute the clams, until the shells open.
  • Remove the lid and, using a slotted spoon, transfer the clams into a bowl, including the clam meat that may have fallen from the shells, and discarding those with closed shells. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue to cook the beer-clam liquid for 6 to 7 minutes, so it strongly simmers and a lot of the alcohol evaporates. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and honey. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once in between.
  • Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 9 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove about 3 dozen clams from their shells and discard those shells. Remove the lid from the pot with the sauce and incorporate the cooked chorizo, shelled clam meat and the clams still in their shells. Mix well.
  • Strain the spaghetti and add it to the sauce. Toss until it is coated. Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with the parsley and cilantro, and serve.

CLAMS WITH CHORIZO

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces fresh chorizo sausage (about 1 link), removed from casing
1/2 cup diced white or yellow onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound littleneck clams (about 12 clams), cleaned and soaked in water to remove impurities
1 cup dry white wine, plus more if needed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
3 to 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
Crusty bread or baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepot over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, using a spoon or spatula to break up the sausage into small pieces, until the sausage begins to brown. Add the onions and garlic and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the sausage has browned, 3 to 4 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the clams to the pot and let settle for a minute, then add the white wine and cilantro. Re-season with salt and pepper and cover tightly with a lid. Let cook about 5 minutes, making sure that the broth at the bottom is at a simmer during that time. After 5 minutes, the clams should have opened or be mostly open; if not, or if the mixture is dry, add another 1/4 cup or so of wine, cover and simmer until the clams are open, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Taste the broth for seasoning and add salt or pepper if necessary. Add the butter to the broth and stir to combine.
  • Transfer to a large serving bowl, making sure to pour the broth over the clams. (Remove any unopened clams and discard them.) Serve with crusty bread or baguette.

CLAMS WITH CHORIZO



Clams with Chorizo image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

36 of the tiniest clams you can buy
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 chorizo sausage
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley
1 bay leaf
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups dry white wine

Steps:

  • Scrub the clams, discarding any with cracked or open shells that fail to close when tapped.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonreactive large sautee pan or saucepan. Prick the sausage a few times with a toothpick. Fry the sausage over medium heat until cooked, about five minutes on each side. Transfer the sausage to a cutting board and let it cool, then cut it into thin slices.
  • Discard all but two tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until lightly brown, about three minutes. Stir in the sausage, tomatoes, parsley, bay leaf, pepper and wine. Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the clams and tightly cover the pot.
  • Cook the clams over high heat until the shells open, about eight minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to give the shells room to open. Ladle the clams and cooking liquid into shallow bowls (discard any that have not opened).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking clams, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing for clam and chourio is light and flavorful. Don't use too much dressing, or it will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the clams and chourio.
  • Serve immediately: Clam and chourio is best served immediately after it is made. The clams will start to toughen up if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Clam and chourio is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of tender clams, sweet corn, and flavorful dressing is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give clam and chourio a try. You won't be disappointed!
