1
Prepare the Clams
Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open or damaged.
2
Make the Broth
In a large pot, melt the herb butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add Wine
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate slightly.
4
Steam the Clams
Add the cleaned clams to the pot and cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened up.
5
Finish and Serve
Once all clams are opened, remove from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
