Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Place the clams in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes to help remove sand and grit. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chorizo and Vegetables

    Slice the chorizo into thin rounds. Finely chop the shallots, garlic, and fennel bulb.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 minutes, until it is browned and has released its oils.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped shallots, garlic, and fennel to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Wine and Tomatoes

    Pour in the dry white wine and add the canned diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any flavorful bits.

  4. 6

    Steam the Clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot, cover with a lid, and let them steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.

  5. 7

    Season and Serve

    Season the broth with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped fresh parsley before serving. Ladle the clams and broth into bowls and enjoy!
