Have the cockles cleaned and ready to cook.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and sauté the chorizo until its lovely red fat runs, about 4 minutes.
Now throw in the cockles, cover the pan tightly and cook until the shells open.
Squeeze over the lemon juice, stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately, in warmed bowls with your favourite bread.
