Ingredients

• 18 littleneck or manila clams, scrubbed
• 1 link of chorizo verde or chorizo sausage
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons Yellowbird Serrano Hot Sauce
• 1/4 cup Karma Sauce Co. “Tommy Tomatillo” Salsa
• 1/2 a lime, juiced
• 4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1–2 cups leftover cooked rice (optional)

Directions

1. In a large pot with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and garlic, cooking until the chorizo has let off some of its fat and the oil is colored by its spices, 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Add the white wine, Karma Salsa, Yellow Bird Hot Sauce, rice and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the clams, cover and cook until the clams open up, 5 to 6 minutes.
3. After the clams have opened, add the cilantro and lime juice. Serve the clams with plenty of the liquid in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, more hot sauce if you like it spicy and serve with a cold beer.

Pro Tip: Discard any clams that don’t open up.
