Directions Chorizo Steamed Clams
Directions
-
Place large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Stir in diced onion, cook and stir until onions begin to turn translucent, 3 or 4 minutes. Add chorizo, cook and stir to render some fat, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour in white wine.
Raise heat to high and bring liquid to a boil. Immediately add clams and distribute evenly. Cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes. During this time you can occasionally shake the pot to \"stir\" the clams using potholders or a kitchen towel to hold the pot handles. It's best not to open the lid and stir.
When clams have opened, remove pot from heat. Stir in butter and parsley, allow butter to melt. Serve clams in heated bowls with lots of the liquid.
