Clams with Chorizo image

Provided by Jose Garces

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces Spanish-style dried chorizo, sliced into thin rounds
1 small Spanish onion, diced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
24 cockles or other small clams, cleaned
1/4 cup bottled clam juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan (preferably one that can also be used for serving) over high heat. When it begins to smoke, add the chorizo and cook until just beginning to color, 2 minutes. Add the onion and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, cockles, clam juice and wine. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the cockles are open and warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes. (Discard any cockles that do not open.) Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with bread.
