Pork
Ingredients
1 Pork Belly
2 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
3/4 cup White Wine
3 Bay Leaves
3 cloves Garlic; minced
1 Lemon; juice
Clams
Ingredients
1kg Clams
3 Tbsp Salt
Water
Sauce
Ingredients
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Onion; finely diced
2 cloves Garlic; minced
50g Chorizo; sliced
1 can Crushed Tomatoes
3/4 cup White Wine
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Parsley; chopped
Steps
In a large, oven-safe dish add the pork belly, salt, paprika, olive oil, white wine, bay leaves, garlic and lemon juice. Marinate 1 hour, covered and refrigerated.
To a large bowl add the clams, salt, and enough water to fully submerge the clams. The salty water will wash the clams well.
Roast the pork belly at 180°C/350°F for 2.5 hours.
In a pot fry the onions and garlic in olive oil for 3-5 minutes or until soft.
Add in the chorizo, crushed tomatoes, and white wine. Simmer 7-10 minutes.
Add the washed and drained clams and salt and cook 3-5 minutes.
Add in the chopped parsley.
Remove the pork from the oven and cut it into small pieces, about 3×5cm.
Roast for an additional 15-20 minutes at 180°C/350°F.
Add the clams and sauce to the pork.
Serve and enjoy!
