Clams With Smoked Paprika Recipes

Steps:

• In a deep bowl, combine 1 gallon water with sea salt and cornmeal. Add clams, and soak for 2 hours. Rinse thoroughly.
• While clams soak, prepare paprika butter: In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream butter. Add paprikas and coarse salt; mix thoroughly. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log; chill until needed.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat until very hot. Add clams, and pour wine on top. Cover, and cook until clams stop hissing (shells will be slightly open) and are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer clams to a plate, cover and keep warm.
• Return pan to stove; reduce liquid by half. Add hominy and keep boiling, swirling to coat hominy, until liquid turns syrupy. Swirl in cold paprika butter a tablespoon at a time; sauce will thicken. Sprinkle in sherry.
• Place 6 clams on each serving plate. Pour hominy sauce over clams, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat broiler (to high if you have the option).
• Combine panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
• Rub cod and lemon quarters all over with remaining oil, sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper, then place in 9-by-12-inch shallow baking dish or disposable foil pan. Arrange chouriço and clams around cod and pour in wine. Place under broiler on top rack (about 3 to 4 inches from flame) and broil, turning dish back to front after about 5 minutes, until fish is almost opaque and littlenecks are open, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle panko mixture over the cod and return to broiler until crumbs are crispy golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Split cod, clams, chouriço, and lemon among 4 shallow bowls, pour pan juices around and serve.
