Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Clean the Clams
Place the fresh clams in a bowl of cold water with a generous amount of salt. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to allow them to expel any sand or grit. Rinse under cold running water and set aside.
- 2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
- 3
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and chop it coarsely.
- 4
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- 5
Add Wine and Clams
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned clams to the pan, cover it with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the clams open up.

Season and Add Cilantro
Once the clams have opened, remove the lid. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Add the chopped cilantro and gently stir to combine.

Serve
Transfer the clams and sauce to a serving dish. Serve hot, ideally with some crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
