Steamed Clams With Chorizo and Tomatoes image

For the Clam and Chorizo lovers, this is a easy dish, full of flavor. I made it a few years back and let me say, using some crusty bread to soak up this sauce is a must! Make it a Romantic dish or serve to your party guests. It is sure to please! I got this recipe from a 2006 Canadian Living magazine, and I forgot all about it, until I went through my cookbooks. This can be served as a appetizer as well. Please enjoy :)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my clams didn't open up. I think I might have overcooked them.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. The chorizo and tomatoes make it kid-friendly.

I would recommend using fresh clams for this dish. Frozen clams can be tough and chewy.

This dish is best when served immediately. The clams will start to toughen up if they sit for too long.

This dish was a perfect way to use up some leftover chorizo. I also added some chopped bell pepper and onion to the mix.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

I was hesitant to make this dish at first, but I'm so glad I did! The flavors of the chorizo, tomatoes, and clams were perfectly balanced. I served it with a side of rice and it was a hit with my family.
