Use the smallest clams you can find. Mussels would also work in this dish. Serve with: Portuguese rolls and a green salad.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces lingui‧a, chorizo, or kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes with green pepper and garlic or italian-recipe tomatoes
4 dozen littleneck or other small hard-shell clams
1 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon (or more) hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
Directions:
1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion and cook until golden, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice, then clams. Pour wine over. Bring to simmer. Cover pan and simmer until clams open, 5 to 10 minutes depending on size of clams (discard any that do not open). Transfer clams to shallow bowls. Bring broth to boil. Season with hot sauce and half of cilantro.
2. Ladle broth and sausage over clams. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
