If you use a Mexichan chorizo it has a lot more fat, so leave out the olive oil and brown the sausage first then drain the excess fat.
Clams With Spanish Sausage
1/2 pound Spanish Chorizo
2 pounds Manila Clams
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 pound red Fingerling Potatoes
1 Bay Leaf
2 cups White Wine
1 tablespoon Chopped Parsley
1. Scrub clams and remove any that are not closed or that have a bad smell.
2. Heat olive oil in a pot and sweat the garlic.
3. Slice the chorizo and add it to the garlic and olive oil to brown.
