Spanish Chorizo Clams by Jimmy’s Table
As the first dish for my new travel series recipes, I chose the Spanish Chorizo Clams, one of our favorites and must order tapas when in Barcelona. Please check out the link in my profile for the newest recipe!
This is a such a great and simple seafood dish to make at home. What’s best is it’s perfect with a nice crunchy baguette to soak up the garlic butter wine clam soup! Whenever Rachel and I travel, we plan our days around food. Where are we going to eat? How do we get there? What can we eat as a snack along the way? When I first ate this, I thought, “Should be easy, I am going to recreate this at home!” And it was! I hope you like this recipe!
Ingredients 食材:
0.5-1 kg of Clams - soaked in salt water for 30 minutes) (蛤蠣)
200 grams of Chorizo also known as Spicy Spanish sausages (西班牙香腸)
1/2 cup (15 pieces) of Garlic - sliced (大蒜)
1 cup of Cilantro - leaves only (香菜)
2 lemons or limes - halved and squeezed for juice, seeds removed (檸檬)
1/2 stick of unsalted butter (無鹽奶油)
1-2 tablespoons of paprika (紅甜椒粉)
1 glass of white wine (白酒)
3-4 tablespoons of olive oil (橄欖油)
Salt and Pepper - for taste (黑胡椒)
Finishing Ingredients 撒料調味
1/2 lemon (檸檬)
1/4 cup cilantro (香菜)
Fresh loaf of crunchy french bread (法國麵包)
STEP 1
Start by soaking the clams in salt water to clean the clams. While clams are soaking, start by cutting 1/2 cup (approximately 15 pieces) of garlic slices.
步驟 1
首先將蛤蠣浸泡在鹽水中，讓蛤蠣吐沙清潔。同時準備1/2杯 (大約15顆)蒜頭，切片。
STEP 2
Prepare and cut chorizo slices. First remove the outer sausage skin covering by gently cutting along the sausage.
步驟 2
準備切西班牙臘腸切片，先用刀子將外層的膜輕輕的劃切開，再切片。
STEP 3
Prepare cilantro by removing the stem and using only the leaves. Also cut lemon in half to use for cooking.
步驟 3
將香菜的莖去除並僅保留葉子部分。將檸檬切成兩半用於烹煮的時候。
STEP 4
On the stove, add in 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and heat up your pan. I am using a cast iron pan because it cooks at a more even temperature.
步驟 4
在鍋子內加入3-4湯匙橄欖油熱鍋，我使用鑄鐵鍋，因為它的烹飪溫度更高。
STEP 5
When the oil is very watery in the pan and you see a little white smoke, it is hot enough. Add in garlic slices and stir to cook until slightly brown.
步驟 5
當鍋中的油加熱至比較水狀時，會看到一點白煙，代表油已經加熱到夠熱的狀態。加入大蒜片，攪拌煮至略棕色。
STEP 6
Add in sliced chorizo so the olive oil absorbs the garlic and spicy sausage flavors. Cook and stir for about 2-3 minutes. Garlic should not be too dark and chorizo should be cooked so that the fat from the sausage melts into the oil. Adjust the heat as needed.
步驟 6
加入切成薄片的香腸，使橄欖油吸收大蒜和辛辣的香腸風味。烹調並攪拌大約2-3分鐘。根據狀況再調整火侯大小，大蒜不能煮到太黑，要把西班牙臘腸中的油脂煮出來。
STEP 7
Drain and rinse the clams in water. Add in clams to the garlic and sausage.
步驟 7
將蛤蠣瀝乾用水中沖洗一下，將蛤蠣加入鍋中。
STEP 8
Stir for 2 minutes and add in 1/2 glass of white wine.
步驟 8
攪拌大約2分鐘左右加入1/2杯的白酒。
STEP 9
Add in 1/2 stick of unsalted butter.
步驟9
加入1/2條無鹽奶油。
STEP10
Squeeze in half a lemon. Save the other half if you want it more citrusy.
步驟10
在鍋中擠入1/2顆檸檬，保留另一半。
STEP 11
Add in 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of black pepper and salt for taste.
步驟11
依個人口味，加入1茶匙至1湯匙黑胡椒粉和鹽中調味。
STEP 12
Add in 1-2 tablespoon of Paprika and stir. Taste and adjust flavor as needed.
步驟12
加入1-2湯匙的甜辣椒粉並且攪拌均勻，根據品嚐後調
整風味。
STEP 13
When 70% of the clams are open, add in cilantro leaves and stir
步驟13
當70％的蛤蠣打開時，加入香菜葉並攪拌。
STEP 14
Add a bit of wine and 1/2 lemon to give it a flavorful wine taste and more lively citrus touch at the end. When 90% of the clams are open, you can turn off the heat.
步驟14
加入剩餘1/2杯的白酒及檸檬，讓味道可以有白酒的相位，並在口感上產生更活潑的柑橘味。當90％的蛤蠣開時，就可以起鍋囉。
STEP 15
For plating, you can either serve it in a pot or directly using a cast iron pan. Prepare some sliced french bread for dipping. Add in half a lemon. I used a torch to burn the lemon for a good lemon smell, but it can also be squeezed into the clams.
步驟15
關於擺盤，可以直接使用烹煮時的鐵鍋，或者準備鐵盤來擺也很有西班牙的風味。準備一些切片的法式麵包。我用噴槍稍微烤檸檬切面，以在這道菜聞到更濃厚檸檬的香氣，也可以將其擠入菜中。
STEP 16
Put in the lemon and top it with more cilantro leaves. Serve and eat hot !
步驟16
將檸檬放入盤中，撒上香菜這道菜就完成囉！
