Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the New Zealand 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 Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add Clams

    Increase the heat to high and add the cleaned clams to the skillet. Stir to combine with the garlic.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cover the skillet and let the clams steam for about 5-7 minutes or until they open up.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Once the clams are open, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
