Clams with Chorizo, Leeks, Tomato, and White Wine

This vibrant dish of clams with chorizo, leeks and tomato is a stunning example of how coastal flavours can be elevated with a touch of Mediterranean heat. The salty sweetness of the fresh clams pairs beautifully with the smoky, savoury depth of the rendered chorizo fat and softened leeks. Simmered in a rich white wine and tomato broth, the sauce offers a balanced depth that makes this recipe a standout choice for an impressive weekend supper or a special midweek treat.

As a high-protein main course, this seafood dish is as nourishing as it is flavourful. The addition of crusty sourdough, rubbed with fresh garlic, provides the perfect vessel for mopping up the fragrant, piquant juices. For the best results, ensure your clams are thoroughly scrubbed before cooking and serve the dish steaming hot to fully appreciate the bright, punchy flavours of the wine-infused sauce.

Ingredients for Clams with Chorizo, Leeks, Tomato, and White Wine

  • 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

  • 170g best-quality fresh chorizo, thinly sliced

  • 1 or 2 medium leeks (white parts only), trimmed and sliced (about 375g )

  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped, plus 2 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half

  • Sal y pimienta negra recién molida al gusto

  • 240ml de vino blanco seco

  • 1 lata (800 g) de tomates triturados

  • 4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed

  • 4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread

In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat, then add the chorizo and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the chorizo has rendered its fat and is crisp and browned at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the leeks, and chopped garlic and stir to coat the vegetables with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, increase the heat to high, and cook until the wine is reduced by half. Add the tomatoes and let the mixture come to a high boil. Add the clams, working in batches if necessary to ensure that they’re in a single layer. Cover the pan and cook until the clams have opened. Discard any unopened clams.

While the clams cook, toast the bread, then rub the surface of each piece of bread with the cut side of one of the remaining garlic cloves.

Serve the hot clam mixture in a shallow serving bowl with the garlic toast alongside.
