    This classic Spanish dish is perfect any night of the week with some toasted bread and a crisp white wine. The addition of saffron elevates the entire dish. If you cook the beans ahead it comes together quickly for a mouthwatering meal that will transport you to Madrid.

    SPANISH CHORIZO VS. MEXICAN CHORIZO

    Spanish chorizo is a dried and smoked sausage flavored with paprika and other spices for a distinctly smoky flavor. It is shelf stable at room temperature so it won't be in the meat department. You mayha find it in cheese stores or import specialty stores. I've found it at Cost Plus.

    Spanish Chorizo is not at all the same as Mexican Chorizo and they are not  interchangable. Mexican Chorizo is a spicy, fresh sausage and there is a vegan version called soyrizo. These would not work in this dish because the flavors will overwhelm the clams and saffron. If you can't find Spanish Chorizon opt for a good hard cured salami. If you can find with with smoked paprika all the better but if not, add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the dish.
