Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Wash the razor clams quickly under running water; do not soak them. Check that all clams are closed and shells are undamaged. If a shell is open, tap it gently; if it does not close, discard it.
-
Step 2.
Cook the broad beans in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain in a colander and set aside.
-
Step 3.
Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for 1–2 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Add the cooked broad beans, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley to the chorizo. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and set aside.
-
Step 5.
Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Place the razor clams on the griddle, drizzle with a little olive oil, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the shells begin to open.
-
Step 6.
Sprinkle the chopped garlic and thyme leaves over the clams and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and pour the white wine over the clams.
-
Step 7.
Spoon the chorizo mixture over the clams and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve piping hot with crusty bread and lemon wedges.
