Check out this beautiful dish ready to take you on a flavor journey!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds littleneck clams, cleaned
- 6 ounces chorizo sausage, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and sauté it until crispy and the oil has rendered out, about 5-7 minutes.
- Next, toss in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any delicious bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Cover it and let the clams steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed—no one wants that in their dish!
- Once all the clams are opened, carefully stir in some salt and pepper to taste. Give it a gentle toss to coat everything in that rich, flavorful broth.
- Serve the clams in bowls, generously pouring over the broth, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Pair it with some crusty bread to soak up all that goodness!
