Clams with Chourico Sausage
Ingredients
  • 24 small clams in shell, scrubbed
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces chourico sausage, diced
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer
  • 1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed roma tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging the clams in a substantial amount of water within a large container. Introduce cornmeal into the mixture and allow it to sit for approximately 20 minutes. Thoroughly clean the clams before proceeding with cooking.
2
Next, heat the olive oil and minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat. Wait until the garlic becomes aromatic, then add the chourico, onion, and paprika-like spice. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes, followed by the addition of roughly three-quarters of the beer. Permit the mixture to simmer for a few additional minutes, then introduce the clam juice, tomatoes, and rinsed clams.
3
Cover the pot and continue to simmer until all clams have opened. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper before serving the dish. Dispose of or consume the remaining beer.
