Include mollusks in your seafood week. Clams are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, low in calories, and very high in iron.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4-1/2 pounds clams, such as littlenecks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1 small onion or 2 shallots, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 1 dried chile de arbol, broken in half
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 strip of orange zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch of saffron (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
A drizzle of olive oil or squeeze of lemon juice for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the clams in several changes of water and scrub with a small brush, such as a toothbrush. Discard any that are open or that have cracked shells.
  • Place the wine in a large, lidded pan that will accommodate all of the clams (a wok with a lid works well). Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add the clams, cover and cook over high heat, shaking the pan from time to time, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the clams open. Remove from the heat. Discard any clams that have not opened.
  • Set a strainer over a bowl, line with cheesecloth and drain the clams. Set the liquid and the clams aside in separate bowls. You can keep the clams in the shell or remove them, whichever is most convenient for serving (it's prettiest with the clams in the shell).
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, wide, lidded skillet or casserole and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes, and add the garlic and red pepper flakes or chile de arbol. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute, and add the tomatoes and juice, the sugar, orange zest, thyme, saffron, and the liquid from the clams. Add salt and pepper to taste, bring to a simmer over medium heat, reduce the heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture has cooked down and is very fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Stir the clams into the tomato sauce and heat through, stirring. Add the parsley or cilantro, stir again, and serve in wide soup bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice over each serving if you wish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces best-quality fresh chorizo, thinly sliced
1 or 2 medium leeks (white parts only), trimmed and sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped, plus 2 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread

Steps:

  • In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat, then add the chorizo and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the chorizo has rendered its fat and is crisp and browned at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the leeks, and chopped garlic and stir to coat the vegetables with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, increase the heat to high, and cook until the wine is reduced by half. Add the tomatoes and let the mixture come to a high boil. Add the clams, working in batches if necessary to ensure that they're in a single layer. Cover the pan and cook until the clams have opened. Discard any unopened clams.
  • While the clams cook, toast the bread, then rub the surface of each piece of bread with the cut side of one of the remaining garlic cloves.
  • Serve the hot clam mixture in a shallow serving bowl with the garlic toast alongside.

CLAMS WITH CHORIZO

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces fresh chorizo sausage (about 1 link), removed from casing
1/2 cup diced white or yellow onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound littleneck clams (about 12 clams), cleaned and soaked in water to remove impurities
1 cup dry white wine, plus more if needed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
3 to 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
Crusty bread or baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepot over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, using a spoon or spatula to break up the sausage into small pieces, until the sausage begins to brown. Add the onions and garlic and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the sausage has browned, 3 to 4 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the clams to the pot and let settle for a minute, then add the white wine and cilantro. Re-season with salt and pepper and cover tightly with a lid. Let cook about 5 minutes, making sure that the broth at the bottom is at a simmer during that time. After 5 minutes, the clams should have opened or be mostly open; if not, or if the mixture is dry, add another 1/4 cup or so of wine, cover and simmer until the clams are open, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Taste the broth for seasoning and add salt or pepper if necessary. Add the butter to the broth and stir to combine.
  • Transfer to a large serving bowl, making sure to pour the broth over the clams. (Remove any unopened clams and discard them.) Serve with crusty bread or baguette.

STEAMED CLAMS WITH TOMATOES

Brush slices of rustic bread with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, toast in oven while clams are cooking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano or 2 teaspoons fresh
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
4 pounds clams, scrubbed and rinsed

Steps:

  • In a large pot heat oil over medium-high. Add garlic, hot pepper flakes, and oregano and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomatoes, increase heat to high, and cook until tomatoes burst, about 4 minutes. Add clams and 3/4 cup water, cover, and cook until clams open, stirring once, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard any unopened clams. Drizzle with oil to serve.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest clams possible: Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Purge the clams before cooking: This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams. To purge the clams, place them in a large bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Rinse the clams thoroughly before cooking.
  • Use a good quality chorizo: The chorizo is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chorizo that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the clams, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the clams from steaming evenly and will make them more likely to overcook.
  • Cook the clams until they just open: The clams are done cooking when they just open. Overcooking will make the clams tough and chewy.
  • Serve the clams immediately: Clams are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their most flavorful.

Conclusion:

Steamed clams with chorizo and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The clams are tender and juicy, the chorizo is smoky and flavorful, and the tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
