Steps:
- Place clams in a large pot with enough water to cover. Stir in cornmeal. Let stand for about 20 minutes. Rinse clams thoroughly before cooking.
- Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large pot over medium heat. When the garlic is fragrant, add the chourico, onion, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes, then pour in about 3/4 of the beer. Let simmer for a few more minutes, then add the clam juice, tomatoes, and rinsed clams.
- Cover, and simmer until all clams have opened. Season with oregano, salt and pepper before serving. Drink or discard remaining beer.

CATAPLANA WITH CLAMS, MUSSELS AND CHOURICO
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Crack the allspice berries by gently crushing them under a small frying pan. Heat the oil in a cataplana or large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bay leaves, allspice berries and crushed red pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, until the bay leaves turn olive color, about 1 minute.
- Add the garlic and swirl it in the oil until the slices become golden on the edge, about one minute. Stir in the onions and peppers and increase the heat to medium-high. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the peppers begin to lose their vibrant color, about 2 minutes. Add chouriço and sauté until it begins to tint the vegetables brownish-red, another minute.
- Stir in tomatoes (diced and juice), wine and black pepper and let the stew come to a boil. No salt will be needed because of the natural salinity of the clams. Add the clams, cover tightly and steam them for 4 minutes.
- Open the cataplana (or covered sauce pan) and quickly add the mussels and stir the pot and cover, then steam for other 3 or 4 minutes until all the clams are open.
- Stir in chopped parsley and cilantro and serve family style in the cataplana or divide the stew evenly onto 4 soup plates.
