Ingredients

  • 12 clams for each packet 36 for three servings
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 2-3 cooked Chorizo sausage
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 1/2 red pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic paste in each package
  • 2 oz. white wine in each package
  • 1/2 Tbsp. butter for each package
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Make three foil packets using about 2' by 2' of foil. Fill each with 12 clams, 1/3 tsp salt, pepper, drizzle of olive oil, 1/3 of the sausage, onion and red pepper. Mix the 2 oz. of white wine with the garlic paste and add to each package. Top with a dab of butter.
  • Fold the foil up tightly to form a packet. Heat the BBQ to medium (375F) and put the packages on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 min. Shake each pouch gently after 7 min. and continue to cook. Alternatively cook on an open fire grill, shaking gently every few minutes.
  • Open up packages and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or buns for dipping.
