SPANISH RICE WITH CLAMS

Steps:

• Put the clams in a large pot or Dutch oven with 1 cup water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the clams start opening, about 5 minutes; as the clams open, transfer them to a bowl using tongs. (Discard any unopened clams.) Add the cooking liquid to the bowl with the clams (strain through a paper towel-lined sieve if sandy). Cover to keep warm.
• Wipe the pot clean and reduce the heat to medium. Add the olive oil and chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the leek, bell pepper, garlic and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the rice; cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer, stirring once or twice, until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaves.
• Meanwhile, puree the parsley with 1/3 cup water in a blender until smooth. Stir the lima beans, parsley puree, and the clams and their juices into the rice mixture. Cook until the lima beans are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

SPANISH CLAM SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring wine, 3 cups water, and thyme to a boil; add clams. Cook, covered, until clams open, transferring them to a bowl with a slotted spoon as they do, 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened; cover bowl. Let broth cool 5 minutes, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a container (you should have about 4 cups).
• In another large pot, heat oil over medium. Add parsnips, bell pepper, ham, chile, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, until parsnips are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Add paprika, clam broth, and clams. Heat through and serve, with bread.

SPANISH CLAMS (ALMEJAS A LA ESPAñOLA)

Steps:

• In a saucepan on medium heat add the olive oil, and when hot, add the chopped shallot until translucent. When the shallot begins to fry you can add the garlic and parsley and the clams. After a minute or so (but before the garlic burns) add the white wine and give everything a good stir.
• As the wine begins to heat up you'll notice the clams start to open. At this point you can add the flour and paprika and give everything a good toss. As the clams continue to open keep agitating the pan to get the liquid inside the shells.
• Try the sauce and salt to taste. Toss the clams around a bit, and when all (or almost all) of the clams are open you can pour directly into a large plate/bowl and serve immediately.
