Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pork chops (6 to 8 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1 medium onion, halved crosswise and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
2 bay leaves
1 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
24 Manila clams or cockles

Steps:

  • Season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper, and set aside on a plate for 10 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven or a large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, and cook, flipping once, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer pork chops to a plate, and cover with parchment paper and then foil to keep warm.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Stir in tomatoes, onion, garlic, a pinch of salt, the bay leaves, paprika, and red-pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes and onion have softened, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Add wine, and raise heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up browned bits. Stir in stock. Return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, and add clams to pot. Cover, and cook until clams open, 3 to 5 minutes (discard any that have not opened after 5 minutes). Discard bay leaves.
  • Return pork chops to pot. Turn to coat with sauce, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer pork chops and clams to a deep platter, and pour broth over top. Serve immediately.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy chili powder. Next time, I'll use a milder chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked the pork chops.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

The pork chops were a little dry, but the clams were delicious. I think I'll try cooking the pork chops separately next time.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought clam juice. Next time, I'll try making my own.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of clams, but I'm so glad I did. The clams were cooked perfectly and added a delicious flavor to the dish.

OMG, this dish was a hit! The pork chops were juicy and flavorful, and the clams were cooked to perfection. The garlic broth was so delicious, I could have drank it all by itself.
