1
Clean the Clams
Place the clams in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes to help remove any sand. Rinse them under cold water to ensure they are clean.
2
Prep Ingredients
Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Cut the lemon in half.

3
Sauté Garlic
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4
Add Clams and Wine
Add the cleaned clams to the pot, then pour in the white wine. Stir gently to combine.
5
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.
6
Season and Serve
Remove the pot from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the clams, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Serve immediately with the remaining lemon halves on the side.
