Braised Swordfish Collar With Chorizo And Clams Food

BROTHY CLAMS AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• In a large high-sided saute pan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, cooking until it has let off some of its fat and the oil is colored by its spices, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the fennel and onions and cook until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Next, add the garlic, pimenton and crushed red pepper and cook for 1 additional minute. Add the clam juice and white wine and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the clams into the broth. Cover and cook until the clams open up, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard any clams that don't open up.
• After the clams have opened, add the parsley, butter, lemon zest and juice. Plate the clams with plenty of the liquid and serve with a piece of crusty bread to sop up all the delicious broth!

SWORDFISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Place swordfish in a non-reactive container. Whisk together zest, olive oil, coriander, herbs and salt. Pour marinade over swordfish and let marinate in refrigerator for 8 hours. Cut peppers and onions into 1-inch squares. Skewer your ingredients rotating them 1 at time, first the swordfish, then a pepper square, followed by a chunk of onion, and a cherry tomato. Brush with marinade and grill for about 2 minutes on each side.

BRAISED CLAMS WITH SHRIMP AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• In a saute pan on medium, heat olive oil. Add cloves, shallots, and chorizo, and cook for 30 seconds. Add clams and shrimp. Add white wine and reduce by half. Add clam juice and cover with another pan and steam until all clams open. Finish with butter and herbs. Serve in a large bowl with Garlic Bread.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• In a saute pan over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is a toasty brown color. Remove the garlic oil from the heat and brush onto both sides of the bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until bread is golden brown.

CHORIZO AND CLAMS, PORTUGUESE STYLE

Steps:

• In a large pot or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Crumble the chorizo into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to firm, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaf, wine, and water and bring to a boil. Cover partially and cook until the liquid is reduced and the mixture is saucy, 5 minutes.
• Add the shellfish to the pan, cover all the way, and cook until the shells open and their meat is slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Discard any shellfish that fail to open, then serve right away.
