Serves
4
  • 1kg live razor clams
  • ½ glass of white wine
  • a few sprigs of thyme
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and
  • roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • stalks from the parsley
  • 250g broad beans (shelled weight)
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 120g cooking chorizo, sliced
  • 250g broad beans (shelled weight)
  • 50g butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
Method/steps
  1. Wash the razor clams in cold running water for 10 minutes. Put them into a pot with the white wine, thyme, garlic, salt and parsley stalks, cover with a lid and cook on a high heat for a few minutes, giving the occasional stir, until all the shells open. Drain in a colander and leave to cool.
  2. Carefully remove the clams from the shells, keeping the shells intact. Cut away the dark-looking sack and discard. Cut each clam into 4 or 5 pieces, put back in the shell, lay the shells on a baking tray and keep warm in a low oven.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the broad beans in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain in a colander. If they are large they should be shelled again.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the chorizo on a low heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the broad beans, butter and parsley, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Put the clams onto warmed serving plates and spoon the chorizo mixture over.
