Seafood

Chorizo and Vegetables

Broth and Butter

Garlic Bread

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Seafood

    Rinse the mussels and clams under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chorizo

    Slice the chorizo sausage into thin rounds.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the sliced chorizo and sauté until it is browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make the Broth

    Add the minced garlic (4 cloves) to the pot with the chorizo and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine, tonkotsu broth, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 6

    Add Seafood

    Add the cleaned mussels and clams to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shells open. Discard any that do not open.

  4. 7

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the blistered cherry tomatoes and sliced Fresno pepper to the pot. Chop the fresh parsley and add half to the pot for added flavor.

  5. 8

    Prepare Garlic Bread

    Brush the cut sides of the baguette with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Ladle the chorizo mussels and clams into bowls, garnishing with the remaining fresh parsley. Serve immediately with the garlic bread on the side.
