Ingredients


If you are thrilled to try these Spanish clams with Chorizo, you are not alone … I’m one of my favorites! 😋 Let’s talk about the key ingredients In this simple recipe.
- Molluscs: In terms of clams, use Littlenecks In this recipe. They are a type of clam for small hard shell of just over a thumb of diameter.
- Chorizo: Is better Use semi-cured chorizo. It is still partially raw, but it’s okay because it will be cooked. Don’t get a spicy chorizo! Spanish cuisine does not use much chili pepper, so the Spanish chorizo tends to be more smoky than spicy. If you can’t get chorizo semi-Create, use dry or fresh; Everyone has a different flavor, but it is equally delicious!
- Located in the United States? Orders high quality chorizo a The shopAn online family -run store specialized in Spanish food.
- White wine: A beautiful white wine will perfectly accompany the clams, garlic, butter and herbs making the sauce extra tasty!

Frequent questions about the recipe
I recommend using clams in Littleneck, as they are quite small, which means they are fast to cook. If you need to use larger clams, cook them a few minutes more or until everyone opens.
The semi-Create chorizo works well in this recipe, since it is a traditional Spanish ingredient. If you can’t find semi-cured, use the raw chorizo and cook it a little longer. Try using a mild chorizo, as Spanish cuisine is not spicy.
Suggestions for experts
- You can serve it in small clay dishes such as tapa or family style as a main dish.
- Adapt it to be a vegetarian recipe, Instead, omit the chorizo and add some extra sections of smoked Spanish paprika.
- Instead of white wine, Try using dry Sherry or dry hard cider; Both are excellent versions.
- If you like a thick sauce, Add a pinch of flour when skipping the onion.
