  • Now, there are variations all over the country, and Julia's here, and she's going to show us a great one that we can make at home, even maybe without this.
  • Yes, we will make it more accessible for everyone here in the U.S., and we're gonna base our recipe on a classic version that uses clams, or amezhuas.
  • Amezhuas nekataplana is the traditional, yeah, one of the classic kataplanas.
  • And we're going to add a few things to it, liven it up a bit, but using ingredients that you'd find in the region.
  • Great.
  • So we're going to start with some onion.
  • And how you cut the vegetables matter.
  • We're going to cut them into nice, long, elegant strips.
  • Now I'm just going to slice it nice and thin.
  • Halfway through, I always tip it on its side.
  • Julia is a human food processor.

  • And then if you have this big flat piece, you can cut it into whatever size or shape you need.

  • Moving on to the meat of the stew, I have some linguiça here.
  • This is twelve ounces of linguiça.
  • In the Amejoas Necataplana, which is the classical version, they usually use a local cured meat called presunto, but that can be hard to find here.
  • Linguiça is great.
  • If you can't find linguiça, you could definitely substitute chorizo.
  • All right.
  • I'm going to cut it up into slightly smaller pieces into quarters.
  • That way, they can really render their flavor into the pot.
  • And what's great about chorizo, linguiça, chorizo from Spain as well, there's a lot of new mail order sources now.
  • They're usually frozen or refrigerator packed, kept cool.
  • So it's a great opportunity to try new dishes.
  • I'm putting this in a separate bowl because it's going to go into the pot ahead of these vegetables.

  • We're going to use a combination of shrimp and clams.
  • It tastes delicious.
  • Fabulous.

  • Don't want to include that.
  • Easy way to get rid of it, pull it out with a paring knife and wipe it on a paper towel.
  • All right, so that's twelve ounces of shrimp.
  • What I'm going to do is just cut them in half crosswise.
  • That just makes the pieces a bit smaller.
  • They fit on the spoon better with everything else.
  • Shrimp go back in the bowl.
  • And now what we're going to do is put a little bit of salt on the shrimp.
  • If you wouldn't mind measuring out just a quarter teaspoon of salt.
  • All right.
  • right over the top.
  • There you go.
  • Brilliant.
  • Now the salt will do a couple things that'll help bring out the shrimp flavor, obviously, because it's salt, but it'll also help the shrimp stay nice and moist as they cook in the stew.
  • So if you're using treated shrimp, if that's all you can find, skip this step.
  • That's right.
  • Okay.
  • All right, so I'm gonna wash my hands, put these in the fridge, and we can get cooking.

  • All right, so here I have a Dutch oven.
  • That's what we're gonna build our cataplana in.
  • And I have two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in here.
  • Been heating up over medium high heat.
  • You can see it starting to shimmer.
  • First into the pot is the linguiça.
  • Yeah, this is gonna cook for about four minutes.
  • It's gonna render some of its fat and flavor and start to get a little brown.
  • I love this smell and it gives you a hint of what the final stew is going to taste like.
  • The spices, the garlic, paprika.
  • Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
  • Yep.
  • So you said garlic.
  • We're going to add a little fresh garlic.
  • This is two cloves.
  • Going to add it right to the pot through a garlic press.
  • We're gonna add some smoked paprika.
  • This is three quarters of a teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a little heat, half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  • Just wanna cook this until they're fragrant and you smell it.
  • Oh, you want those flavors to bloom in the oil, and that just doesn't take very long.
  • And those flavors are found in the linguiça themselves, so you're just amplifying what was already gorgeous.
  • Yes.
  • All right, now time to add the vegetables, the onion, the fennel, the red pepper,
  • And to this, we're going to add a little bit of salt.
  • We're going to add half a teaspoon of table salt, help reinforce those flavors, bring out some of that moisture.
  • And we're going to cook this still over medium high heat for about eight to ten minutes until the vegetables are nice and softened.
  • All right, so those vegetables have just another minute or so.
  • Now we're going to add tomatoes, and tomatoes are a classic ingredient.
  • But we found when we added the juice in the canned tomatoes, it was just too tomatoey.
  • It covered up the delicate flavor of the seafood.
  • So we're going to strain away the juice.
  • This is a twenty eight ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes.
  • All right.
  • You can see that's a lot of juice.
  • Yes, we'll make Bloody Marys later.
  • Oh, good call, good call.
  • All right, so now I'm just going to quickly chop them.
  • I'm going to just stir.
  • Yeah.
  • All right.
  • Using a bench scraper, just going to transfer the chopped tomatoes right to the pot.
  • Now we're going to add some white wine, which is very classic.
  • Just half a cup of white wine.
  • A lot of recipes just use white wine tomatoes.
  • We wanted to add a little more liquid to the pot.
  • So here I'm going to add an eight ounce bottle of clam juice.
  • And we're going to let this simmer for about five minutes until it's thickened up a bit.
  • All right, this has been simmering for a few minutes.
  • You can see it's thickened ever so slightly, and that's what you're looking for.
  • So to add the clams, I'm going to crank the heat to high.
  • And this is three pounds of little neck clams, and they're a nice size.
  • They cook through evenly in the pot.
  • And if you use more than three pounds, it just overwhelms the pot.
  • So that's why we're going to add shrimp to really up our seafood game.
  • Fantastic.
  • Yeah, so we're just going to stir these in.
  • We're going to put the lid on.
  • We're going to cook them until all the clams have opened.
  • That takes five to seven minutes.
  • OK, great.
  • It's been about seven minutes.
  • Oh, they've all opened.
  • Isn't that lovely?
  • So now it's time to add the shrimp.
  • The reason we're adding the shrimp a little later is it would overcook if we let it boil like that.
  • Yes.
  • And in fact, I just turned the heat off.
  • I'm just going to sprinkle the shrimp right over the top.
  • We're going to let them cook off the heat just using the residual heat left in the pot and the stew.
  • And that'll take about five minutes.
  • All right, so lid on, heat's off, five minutes.
  • Five minutes to dinner?
  • Mm hmm.
  • Excellent.
  • Mmm.
  • I know.
  • It is a heavenly smell, isn't it?
  • It really is.
  • And you can see the shrimp are nice and pink, perfectly cooked through, but they won't be overdone and rubbery.
  • Right.
  • Which is the benefit of cooking them off the heat.
  • So I'm going to add a half a cup of chopped parsley and just stir it in nice and gentle.
  • This also gives me a chance to check out all the clams.
  • At this point, if any haven't opened, it's time to get rid of them.
  • All these clams are opened.
  • We're good to go.
  • All right.
  • I'm going to dish you up a healthy bowl.
  • Yes, gladly.
  • Plenty of that linguiça.
  • Plenty of clams.
  • That gorgeous, gorgeous broth.
  • Mm hmm.
  • You notice I have some nice crusty bread here because dipping the bread in the sauce, that's awesome.
  • All right, here's a little bit of lemon if you'd like to squeeze a little lemon over top.
  • Fabulous.
  • Oh, thank you.
  • Yeah.
  • Mm hmm.
  • I'm going to go for one of those shrimp first.
  • Mm hmm.
  • Sweet and tender.
  • Mm hmm.
  • Well, it's the flavor of the broth.
  • It has depth and complexity to it.
  • Every bite, it just tastes better and better.
  • Clams are gorgeous.
  • Mm hmm.
  • Perfect size.
  • Nice and super tender.
  • Oh, this is my favorite part, the bread.
  • And since you insist on the bread, going for it.
  • Oh, yeah.
  • Nice, hearty, crusty bread.
  • I have to stop eating long enough to say thank you.
  • You're welcome.
  • Well, you definitely want to make this beautiful cataplana.
  • And it starts with building the cataplana with linguiça, red pepper, and fennel.
  • Stir the clams into the sauce and cook them until their shells open.
  • Add the shrimp and let them sit off heat until they're cooked through.
  • So from America's Test Kitchen, a little taste of coastal Portugal, it's cataplana.
  • Mmm, gorgeous.
  • Yeah.
  • More bread, please.
