  pan, heat the lard over moderately high heat. Saute the chorizo and pork, 
  turning them until they are browned.  Add the onion, bell peppers, 
  tomatoes, and squid and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 
  15 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Stir in 
  almonds, pine nuts, garlic, saffron mixture, and artichoke hearts. Ladle in

  covered, for 20 minutes. 
   
  Arrange the clams in the rice, add the peas, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, 
  or until the rice is just tender and the clams open. Discard any clams that 
  do not open.  Garnish with pimientos and parsley.
