Clam Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Soak them in salted water for 20 minutes to help purge any remaining sand.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

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

  3. 3

    Add Clams and Wine

    Add the rinsed clams to the pot, along with the white wine. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Clams

    Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
