Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  5. 5

    Add Clams

    Add the rinsed clams to the skillet, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
