"I saw this being made by Justine Schofield on the Everyday Gourmet television show. I have made this using white wine, but I think this would have an interesting flavor using the sherry as in this recipe. I am hoping to make this using the sherry very soon."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place the saffron into the warm sherry to steep for about 5 minutes or so.
Step 2
Put the onion, garlic, capsicum and chorizo in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add the oil and pulse 3-4 more times.
Step 3
Heat a large sauté pan or pot over a medium heat and add chorizo mixture. Cook for about 3-4 minutes to release the oils. De glaze the pan with the saffron and sherry and turn the heat up to medium-high & add the bay leaf and mix to coat everything in the oil. The capsicum and onion should be very soft.
Step 4
Add in the tomato puree and bring to the boil. Finally add the mussels, then followed by the clams. Stir mussels and clams to coat them in the sauce & place the lid on and cook for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pot half way to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shellfish open.
Step 5
Taste and check seasoning. Although Note that the seafood should be salty enough.
Step 6
Toss with the fresh parsley, and serve immediately in a large bowl or platter with crusty bread.
