Chorizo and Clams, Portuguese Style image

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 is a simple but delicious dish. The chorizo and clams are cooked perfectly, and the sauce is flavorful and light. I served it over rice, and it was a hit with my family.

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I really enjoyed this dish. The clams were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use a different type of sausage.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The chorizo and clams are a great combination, and the sauce is so flavorful. I like to serve it over pasta, but it would also be good with rice or potatoes.

I made this dish last night and it was a huge success! The flavors of the chorizo, clams, and white wine all came together perfectly. I added a little extra garlic and paprika, and it was even better. I will definitely be making this again and again.
