How to Make Spanish Style Clams

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium sweet onion, sliced; 1 green bell pepper, sliced; 1 red bell pepper, sliced; and 2 cloves minced garlic. Saute until onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Albariño or Sauvignon Blanc), and 2 bay leaves.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add 2 pounds of fresh clams. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open, about 8-10 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
  6. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco or a Spanish-style brava sauce).
  7. Serve immediately over cooked rice, garnished with fresh parsley (optional). Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping!
