Quahogs (inexplicably pronounced KO -hogs) are large clams. So if you just have small clams available, you can use those.
What is different about Portugese stuffed quahogs or clams is the addition of either chourico or linguica, which is spicy sausage.
My father and I each ordered a Portugese Stuffed Quahog recently as appetizers, in an Irish bar/restaurant called Rooney's on Cape Cod. The quahogs were so huge that we had to take our entree in a "to go" box!
My photo is of the Portugese stuffed quahog I ordered at Rooney's. They serve them with a pat of butter on top, a wedge of lemon, and we add a few drops of hot sauce. A great meal, if you also serve a salad and a cup of clam chowder!
Here is a recipe I found on the internet, which sounds just like what we ordered at the restaurant. http://how2heroes.com/videos/family-recipes/stuffed-quahogs
