Baked Chocolate Clams

Apologies if I haven't been  posting much lately but it has been a very busy week...actually it still is.
Here a good clams recipe from Baja.
Down here we use Chocolate clams which are large and meaty enough for a preparation like this, but you can use any large bivalve present in your area. It's a great BBQ party dish too!


Start with cleaning the clam by removing all the sinewy tissues and the intestines;
place the meat back into the shell and add chopped Swiss chard (or any other greens...spinach, bok choy, gai long will do too), minced Spanish chorizo and shredded Manchego cheese.
Tie the shell shut with fine wire and place in a HOT oven or in the coals and ashes of your barby for 10 to 12 minutes.
Serve it with cold beer and  pliers... Enjoy!!!
