The Daily Drink: Thai Curried Clams and Chorizo

"Today’s dish packs some serious flavor punch, yet it takes less than 10 minutes of cooking time. It’s also one of those dishes that is as interesting to look at as it is to smell and taste. With its flavors, its quick ease, and its visual appeal, it beckons guests – whether they’re family members or visitors to your home – to hang out with you in the kitchen and sip a few bottles of beer as the whole evening comes together. Why not try Singha Beer ($8 for a 6-pack), from the first and largest brewery in Thailand, to cool off the heat of the Thai red curry paste? This full-bodied, 100% barley malt beer is rich with strong hop characteristics and makes, in its own right, for some very lively kitchen talk!
