Pork & Clams

Pork and clams is a simple, classic dish from south Portugal.  It comes in many regional forms, but this is the way I make it at home.  It's ridiculously easy, and takes modification well.

Step 1: Tools and Ingredients

Ingredients:
2 pounds pork (a fatty cut like belly or shoulder
2 pounds clams
2 Tablespoons Butter or lard
2 large onions
Handful peeled garlic (I use ~6 cloves, YMMV)
~8 medium button mushrooms
3 medium tomatoes
2 Tablespoons smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
handful parsley, chopped fine
1/2 cup Sherry or red wine


Tools:
Large pot with lid
Wooden spoon or similar for pot stirring
Knife
Cutting Board
Microplane grater
