This was stunning! We all loved it! Will definately do it again, a real show boater!

My fiance and I absolutely loved this recipe - though not sure if it would feed 4 people...we finished it between us!!!

Amazing flavours, easily done. Great recipe

This recipe is a triumph. My only challenge was getting all the clams to open without over cooking everything else, so I scooped a few out and blitzed them in another pan and then whipped them back in. Rarely have I cooked such an apparently complex dish that was actually very simple.

Everyone seemed to enjoy this! Served with pasta and garlic bread and used mussels instead of clams since I couldn't find any! Only given this 3 stars since me and the boyfriend seemed to love it when we was eaten it but then after felt as if we didn't enjoy it! It is super yummy though and everyone else enjoyed it. Plus I'm quite a fuss eater! Will make again but I wouldnt't eat it.

I followed the recipe as mentioned and it was lovely. Agreed with Archangelrich, the dish was very rich. I would also say that it takes about an hour to prepare - we served it with some Mediterranean Vegetable Risotto and some crusty bread. I think I should have used a little more tomato and the sauce boiled down quite quickly.

I made this exactly as said, except I also had to use tinned clams (which meant the dish didn't look as aesthetically pleasing, but they thickened the sauce up nicely). It was lovely. I found it rather rich, and even with my family's hearty appetites there was more than enough to feed four. My Portuguese friends make something quite similar but the paprika is used to flavour the sauce, whilst the meatballs are more heavily spiced (using piri piri, or mustard powder).

I've made this a few times and it never disappoints, last time I used scallops instead of the clams as they are so difficult to get hold of if you don't live in a city! Is perfect for dinner with friends as it is not overly filling, always room for another glass of wine and pudding!

I also couldn't get hold of any clams so used king prawns instead. It's very rich and I found it rather heavy BUT really enjoyed it and will try my best to get hold of fresh clams next time. I liked how busy it was - so many different flavours and textures.

Such a shame its difficult to get hold of fresh squid and clams in this country! This recipe looks amazing and I can't wait to try it!

Delicious! I will definately do it again. The combination Pork/Squid/Chorizo and a hint of paprika is heavenly. I would strongly recommand a trip to your fav' fishmonger (mine's Steve Hatt from Islington, who arranged for me to have some fresh clams on the day of my diner party) and butcher to hit all the right flavours in that dish.
Even my brother, who do not like seafood usually loved the dish and asked for more! Thumbs up!

This is sooooo good for a robust meal with friends, lots of gutsy red wine and plenty of bread to mop up the sauce. Mr/Ms Ensy is quite right about the fresh clams (be sure to give them a good clean) and squid. Kids like this too - all round a big hit.

Make sure you use cooking chorizo, otherwise flavour gets lost.

I made this pretty much as described, with two small exceptions - (1) I used Marsala wine instead of sherry (it's pretty similar anyway) and (2) I couldn't get any smoked paprika and ended up using normal (noble sweet) paprika instead.

The meal was superb and I will be looking for an excuse to do it again. I strongly recommend getting fresh squid and clams if you can (rather than the plastic punnets of cooked squid rings you get in the supermarket). I think it was really the good fresh fish that made this so successful.

Delicious.

Could not get the squid, and replaced it with prawns. Love it.

So very lush.

Made this for a dinner party could not get the clams so used prawns instead, cooked it all in a large paella dish and let them serve themselves. It was delicious.

This was delicious and our two children loved it. Very easy to cook. Except I couldn't find any clams and so, committed a sin and used tinned - still loved it though.

Delicious recipe and a real hit with the family, was unable to use clams but used cooked mussles instead and dry red wine instead of the white wine with excellent result

Very good southern med recipe - goes well with a good Spanish dry white.
