Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 links of Spanish chorizo, ground up in the food processor
- 2 cloves of garlic,
- 2 slices of orange
- 1/2 cup of Albarino wine
- 2 dozen littleneck clams, cleaned and scrubbed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Flat leaf parsley for garnish


METHOD:

Begin by grinding up chorizo in food processor. Set a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat and add a 2-count of extra-virgin olive oil. Dump in garlic and orange peel followed by ground chorizo. Gently sauté until fragrant and fat begins to render. Add clams followed by wine. Season, then cover and steam for 12-15 minutes until clams are opened. To finish, remove lid and spoon 1/4 cup of saffron aioli over the top. Toss to combine and coat the clams. Serve in a large bowl garnished with flat-leaf parsley.
