Grilled Clams and Chorizo Serves 8 1½ pounds fresh chorizo 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, diced 1½ cups white wine 4 cloves garlic, minced 3 shallots, sliced 2 tomatoes, chopped 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika Salt and black pepper 36 small clams in the shell, scrubbed Extra-virgin olive oil 1 baguette, halved lengthwise ¼ cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, chopped 3 lemons, cut into wedges Heat your grill to medium-high (450°F) and close the lid. Wait at least 15 minutes before continuing. Oil the grill grates with a vegetable oil–soaked paper towel held with a long pair of tongs. Place the chorizo on one side of the grill, close the lid, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chorizo is a deep golden brown. Turn the sausage over and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until its skin is charred and shriveled. Remove the chorizo from the grill. Set a roasting pan set on the other side of the grill and add the butter, wine, garlic, shallots, tomatoes, smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring intermittently, for 8 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to break down and the shallots soften. Meanwhile, slice the chorizo into thin rounds and add to the pan with the sauce. Stir to combine, and leave the pan on the grill. Increase the grill heat to high (550°F), leaving the lid open. Place the clams directly on the grill grate and cook until they pop open, about 3 to 6 minutes. Use tongs to transfer the clams to the pan as soon as they open. Discard any clams that remain shut after 8 or 9 minutes. Toss the clams, chorizo, and sauce together, and set aside. Drizzle some olive oil over the inside of the cut baguette and place the bread halves cut side down on the grill. Allow to toast for a few minutes, until slightly charred and toasted. Remove from the heat and cut into slices. Garnish the clams and chorizo with a sprinkling of parsley and wedges of lemon. Serve with the baguette slices.
