Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until onions start to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chorizo; cook and stir to render some fat, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Pour in wine, increase the heat to high, and bring liquid to a boil. Immediately add clams and distribute evenly. Cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally by holding the pot handles with potholders or a kitchen towel. It's best not to open the lid and stir.

Step 3

When clams have opened, remove from the heat. Stir in parsley and butter.

Step 4

Serve clams and liquid in heated bowls.
