Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 pound chorizo sausage, peeled and sliced thin
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced paper-thin
1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 3/4 cups Bhutanese red rice or Wehani rice
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 to 3 cups well-seasoned fish or chicken stock
40 fresh cockles or 24 little neck clams, scrubbed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a heavy ovenproof casserole with a lid, add sausage and cook over medium heat about 2 minutes. Add onion, cook until transparent but not brown, then stir in the garlic and chili flakes. Stir in the rice, thyme and bay leaves.
  • Add wine and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes, until most of it has evaporated. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock if using Bhutanese rice; 3 cups for Wehani rice. Bring to a boil, stir, then add cockles or clams.
  • Cover casserole, and place in oven. Cook Bhutanese rice about 15 minutes, until cockles or clams have opened and most of the liquid has been absorbed. The Wehani rice will take about 40 minutes.
  • When rice is done, remove casserole from oven and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes; serve directly from the casserole.

This recipe was a waste of time. The rice was undercooked and the cockles were gritty. The chorizo was the only thing that was edible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The rice was a little dry and the cockles were a bit bland. The chorizo was good, but it wasn't enough to save the dish. I wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a disappointment. The rice was mushy and the cockles were tough. The chorizo was the only thing that had any flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

I was looking for a new recipe to try and this one caught my eye. I'm so glad I made it! The rice was cooked perfectly and the cockles were tender and flavorful. The chorizo added a nice spicy kick. I will definitely be making this again!

I made this dish last night and it was a big hit with my family. The rice was fluffy and flavorful and the cockles were tender and juicy. The chorizo added a nice spicy kick. I will definitely be making this again!

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used a spicy chorizo which gave the dish a nice kick. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a few extra vegetables, like bell peppers and onions, to bulk it up. It's a great weeknight meal.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used a pre-cooked chorizo which saved me time. The rice was cooked perfectly and the cockles were plump and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!
