Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the clams and cover. Cook the clams for about 6 to 8 min or possibly till the shells open, throw away any shells which don't open. Remove the clams from the pot and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Or possibly, hold the clams in a cloth and insert a knife between the shells. Pry the shells apart, then sever the hinge muscle and throw away the top shell. Loosen the muscle in the lower shell. Place the clams, still in the shell on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, stir the butter and 1 Tbsp. of garlic together. Season the butter with salt and pepper. Spoon the butter on a large piece of plastic wrap. Form the butter into a 1-inch log and cover tightly and place in the refrigerator. Chill for 1 hour.
- In a saute/fry pan, render the chorizo for 2 min. Add in the onions, celery and peppers. Season with Emeril's Essence. Saute/fry for 2 min. Stir in the remaining garlic and bread crumbs and remove from the heat. Stir in the water and parsley and season with Essence.
- Slice the compound butter into 12 equal slices. Season the clams with Essence. Place a slice of the butter on each clam. Place a 1/4 of a c. of the crust over the butter. Using your hands, pat the crust firmly into the clam shell. Top with the cheese. If using the poached clams, tie the shell tightly with butchers twine. Bake for 8 to 10 min. Remove from the oven.
