Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Clams

    Add the rinsed clams to the pot and pour in the white wine. Cover the pot and let the clams steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Once the clams are cooked, remove them from the heat. Stir in chopped fresh parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the clams hot, with the broth and aromatics spooned over them. Enjoy with crusty bread.
