Portuguese Steamed Clams

SUBMITTED BY: Star Pooley

"Being of Portuguese decent and raised in Rhode Island along the Eastern seaboard, this recipe is a wonderful combination of my two heritages. If desired serve with a small cup of melted butter for dipping clams and don't forget a fresh loaf of warm, crusty bread!!! Note: If the clams seem sandy, soak them for a couple of hours or overnight in the refrigerator in salted water with a bit of vinegar, cornmeal, and cayenne pepper."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 5 pounds clams in shell, scrubbed
  • 1 1/2 pounds chorizo, sliced into chunks
  • 1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups white wine
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. Wash clams well in a sink of cold water. Discard any clams that are already opened.
  2. In a large stock pot with a tight fitting lid, place the cleaned clams. Add the sausage, onion, tomatoes and wine. Cover and set over high heat. Steam until all the clams open up. Be sure to shake the pan often to insure even heat.
