Sunday Supper: Clam and Chorizo Stew Recipe
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.

Editor's note: Each Saturday afternoon we bring you a Sunday Supper recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
Clams and chorizo are both exceptional ingredients in their own right, but put them in one dish together and they enhance each other further. This light summer stew makes the most of simple flavors by adding just another ingredient or two designed to support the complex, spicy chorizo and sweet, briny clams without distracting the palate.
Let your clams sit in cold water to allow them to expel the sand that gets caught inside them. And before cooking your clams, scrub them with a kitchen brush and make sure they are all tightly closed.
