1. Bring the stock to the boil. Wash the clams well under running cold water. Slice the chorizo into thick rounds.Peel and finely dice the shallots and garlic. Pick the thyme and add the stalks to the stock.
2. Sweat the shallots and garlic in a splash of olive oil until soft. Add the thyme leaves and sliced red peppers and cook for a further minute. De-glaze with the sherry. Reduce by half and then add the stock. Season with salt and pepper.
