1
Clean the Clams
Rinse the clams under cold running water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of salted water for about 20 minutes to help them purge any remaining sand.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
3
Chop the Parsley
Rinse and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside for garnish.

4
Heat the Oil and Butter
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Add the Clams
Add the cleaned clams to the pot and stir to coat them with the garlic mixture.
7
Pour in the Wine
Pour in 1 cup of white wine and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
8
Cook the Clams
Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up. Discard any clams that do not open.
9
Serve
Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve immediately in bowls with the broth. Enjoy!
