Ingredients

Littleneck clams

32 item(s)

Whole-grain yellow cornmeal

1 tbsp(s)

Unsalted butter

2 tbsp(s)

Onion

2 large, chopped

Kosher salt

1 tsp(s)

Bay leaf

1 leaf/leaves

Fresh parsley

4 sprig(s), plus additional for garnish

Garlic

4 clove(s), large, medium, minced

Cajun seasoning

1 tbsp(s)

White wine

½ cup(s), dry variety

Reduced-sodium chicken broth

¾ cup(s)

Uncooked baby potatoes

2 pound(s), rinsed and scrubbed

Cooked chicken chorizo sausage

12 oz, sliced into 12 chunks

Cooked corn

4 ear(s), medium, husked and halved

Lemon

1 medium, cut into 8 wedges

Instructions

  1. Scrub outsides of clams; place in a large pot of cold water. Add cornmeal to help clams release any grit; let soak, 15 minutes. Remove clams from pot; rinse.
  2. Heat butter in a large soup or stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and salt; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 10-15 minutes. Stir in bay leaf, parsley, garlic and Old Bay; cook, 1 minute. Stir in wine; cook, 1 minute. Add broth; increase heat to medium-high.
  3. Place potatoes in pot over onion mixture and top with chorizo; place corn over chorizo and then add clams. Cover pot; cook until clams have opened, and corn and potatoes are fork tender, 15-20 minutes.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to remove clams to a large platter (discard any that haven't opened); place corn in a serving bowl. Use a slotted spoon to remove chorizo and potatoes to platter with clams; drizzle some broth from pot over clams, sausage and vegetables. Serve with remaining broth and lemon wedges on the side; garnish with parsley.
