Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of water for 20 minutes if they are particularly sandy.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Clams

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the rinsed clams and cover the pot.

  4. 4

    Steam the Clams

    Steam the clams for about 5-7 minutes, or until they open up. Discard any clams that do not open.

  5. 5

    Add Coriander

    Once the clams are cooked, remove them from the pot and place them in a serving dish. Add chopped coriander to the cooking liquid and stir well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Pour the cooking liquid over the clams, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
