Portuguese Pork & Clam Stew image

This recipe caught my eye when it came to me in an email because pork shoulder & fresh clams are inexpensive, readily available & oh so very good. I have not paired them before but am eager to give it a go! I plan to bake this in the oven after browning the pork - will probably do 300 degree F - so will use my trusty enameled dutch oven for carefree cooking. Will serve with rice, a good chewy loaf to sop up wonderful stewiness & a green salad with a light vinagrette.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this stew. The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the clams added a nice briny flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!

I was disappointed with this stew. The pork was tough and the clams were gritty. I think I'll stick to my usual recipe.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think next time I'll use less salt or omit the salt altogether.

This Portuguese pork and clam stew was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the meat and clams were cooked to perfection. I especially loved the addition of the chorizo, which gave the stew a nice smoky flavor.
