Directions
- Three hours before cooking, soak the clams in cold water with a pinch of salt to clean out any sand.
- Change the water every hour (at least 2 times) or until the bowl has no sand residue in the bottom.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium-sized pot, dutch oven, or wok.
- Add chouriço and cook until oil starts to turn red, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add onion and garlic, and cook until the onion softens, approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and stir.
- Add the clams and pour in the wine.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer and cover the pot.
- Simmer until the clams open, approximately 6-8 minutes. (If any of the clams do not open, toss them out).
- Remove the clams to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the remaining liquid by half, then pour over the clams.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with crusty, toasted country bread.
