1
Prepare the clams
Clean the clams under cold running water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in salted water for about 30 minutes to help purge any remaining sand.
2
Sauté garlic
In a large pot or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.
3
Add clams and wine
Add the cleaned clams to the pan and pour in the white wine. Stir gently to combine and cover the pot with a lid.
4
Cook the clams
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.
5
Finish the sauce
Once the clams are cooked, remove the lid and stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Serve
Serve the clams hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired, alongside crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
