Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Place the fresh clams in a bowl of cold water with a pinch of salt for 30 minutes to remove any sand. Rinse the clams under cold running water to clean.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Roughly chop the parsley, keeping some leaves aside for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the dry white wine and clam juice. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Cook the Clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot, cover, and let them steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until all the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.

  4. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Stir in the fresh parsley, juice of the lemon, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serving

  1. 7
