Pork and Clams
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2000
Show:  Emeril Live
Episode:  Summer in Portgual
Pork and Clams
6 medium cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
1 cup Portuguese or good olive oil
1 1/2 pounds bones pork loin, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup small diced onions
2 cups dry white wine
100 cockles or small littleneck clams in the shell, scrubbed and purged
Sea salt, to taste
1 loaf crusty bread
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a small food processor, combine garlic, salt, pepper flakes and paprika. Process until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and process until smooth. In a glass mixing bowl, toss the meat with the pureed mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator, marinate at least 8 hours, overnight is preferred. In a cataplana (or a large saute pan with a lid), over medium heat, add the remaining 1/2 cup of oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the pork and saute for 4 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the clams, and season with salt. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the pan over occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave covered for 5 minutes. Remove any shells that do not open. Stir in the parsley. Serve in individual serving bowls with crusty bread.
