How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

  1. Fry the chorizo in a big frying pan using a lid, over a medium heat till it's starting to crisp up plus release its oil.

  2. Add the onion.

  3. Heat for 5 mins until starting to soften.

  4. Add the garlic and finely chopped parsley.

  5. Fry for 1 min more.

  6. Pour on the stock and tomatoes.

  7. Bring to the boil.

  8. Turn the heat down.

  9. Add the beans and sherry vinegar.

  10. Simmer for 10 mins till the liquid is slightly reduced.

  11. Scatter over the clams.

  12. Cover using your lid plus steam for 2-4 mins, shaking your pan every so often until the clams are open.

  13. Have a little taste before seasoning, as your clams can be quite salty.

  14. Scatter over the chopped parsley.

  15. Eat with lots of crusty bread.

On the side: Green salad
