Method
step 1
Heat the oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. To make the aïoli, blend the egg, garlic cloves and white wine vinegar. With the blender running on a low speed, drip in the vegetable oil, followed by the olive oil, slowly, allowing each addition to be incorporated into the egg mixture before adding more. As more oil is incorporated, you can add the following oil more quickly. Season with salt and chill.
step 2
Drizzle the slices of baguette with olive oil and put on a baking sheet in the oven until golden brown, 5 minutes on each side.
step 3
Put the chorizo, shallots, garlic and 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan (with a lid) and fry for a few minutes until soft. Add the clams (or cockles), mussels and fino and cover the pan with its lid. Cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat, shaking occasionally. Remove the lid and discard any that do not open. Add a glug of olive oil and the coriander. Season and serve in bowls with the toasts – add a tbsp of aïoli to the broth or spread on the toast and dunk.
