Garlicky prawn, clam and chorizo pot recipe

A delicious Spanish-style stew that is just the thing if you’ve managed to stumble across a good fishmonger whilst out and about.

If you can’t get hold of clams for this dish, you could simply replace them with the same quantity of live mussels. It’s worth hunting out really good-quality yellow-fleshed waxy potatoes for this dish as they add such a delicious flavour, plus they manage to hold a nice firm texture even after the stew has simmered for a long while.

Step-by-step

  1. Heat a large saucepan until hot, add the chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly charred and very oily. Remove with a slotted spoon and set to one side.
  2. Add the onion to the chorizo oil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes, taking care not to burn. Add the peppers and potatoes. Stir well and then add the wine. Bring to the boil and bubble for a couple of minutes to cook off the alcohol.
  3. Add the tomatoes and stock, cover and cook for an hour, stirring every now and then. Add the 8 unpeeled prawns to the pan. After 5 minutes, stir in the chorizo, the peeled prawns and the clams.
  4. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes until the clams have opened and the prawns are pink. Scatter with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
