Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces Spanish-style dried chorizo, sliced into thin rounds
1 small Spanish onion, diced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
24 cockles or other small clams, cleaned
1/4 cup bottled clam juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan (preferably one that can also be used for serving) over high heat. When it begins to smoke, add the chorizo and cook until just beginning to color, 2 minutes. Add the onion and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, cockles, clam juice and wine. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the cockles are open and warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes. (Discard any cockles that do not open.) Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with bread.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound Spanish chorizo sausage, diced
1 large fennel bulb, diced
1 large Spanish onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 teaspoon pimenton (smoked Spanish paprika)
Pinch crushed red pepper

3 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed clean
4 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Loaf crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large high-sided saute pan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, cooking until it has let off some of its fat and the oil is colored by its spices, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the fennel and onions and cook until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Next, add the garlic, pimenton and crushed red pepper and cook for 1 additional minute. Add the clam juice and white wine and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the clams into the broth. Cover and cook until the clams open up, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard any clams that don't open up.
  • After the clams have opened, add the parsley, butter, lemon zest and juice. Plate the clams with plenty of the liquid and serve with a piece of crusty bread to sop up all the delicious broth!

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.

CLAM STEW

This clam stew highlights the fresh, sweet and salty clam flavor, with the chorizo adding a little kick. Fresh Swiss chard greens from our garden, corn and cannellini beans round out the flavor profile. The best part, though, is dipping crusty bread into the delicious broth! -Pamela Gelsomini, Wrentham, Massachusetts

RAZOR CLAMS WITH KIELBASA



Razor Clams with Kielbasa image

It's not that David Chang, the chef and owner of the Momofuku Noodle Bar in the East Village, doesn't like vegetables. In fact he loves them. He just thinks a little meat makes them better. Even his fish gets the meat treatment. When you look at Mr. Chang's razor clams with kielbasa, you see a dish that, with a couple of exceptions, like the addition of soy and ginger, could have originated in Portugal. Of course that country's cuisine has as much respect for the tradition of including meat in nearly everything as Mr. Chang's own.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1 large onion, sliced
Salt and pepper
24 razor clams, cleaned, or littleneck or Manila clams, scrubbed
1/4 pound kielbasa or other garlicky sausage, sliced
1/2 cup sake or not-too-dry white wine
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Chopped fresh jalapeños or other fresh chilies for garnish

Steps:

  • Put half the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions, salt and pepper and cook for a minute, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to brown.
  • Add clams and raise heat to high; stir for another minute. Add sausage and stir for a minute.
  • Add sake or wine, cover, and cook until the clams are tender (or open, if you're using littlenecks), about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine remaining oil with scallions, ginger, soy sauce and vinegar in a bowl.
  • Put clams, onions, sausage and their juices in a bowl and spoon sauce over them; garnish with chilies and serve.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest razor clams you can find. Fresh razor clams should have tightly closed shells and a briny aroma. Avoid any clams with open shells or cracked shells.
  • Purge the razor clams before cooking. Purging helps to remove any sand or grit from the clams. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for at least 30 minutes. Change the water every few hours until the water is clear.
  • Cook the razor clams quickly. Razor clams cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked razor clams will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the razor clams immediately. Razor clams are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as an appetizer or main course.

Conclusion:

Razor clams are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. Whether you're grilling them, frying them, or steaming them, razor clams are sure to please your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a new seafood recipe, give razor clams a try!
