Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the clams

    Rinse the fresh white clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Soak them in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes to help expel any remaining sand.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 3

    Add white wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

  3. 4

    Add clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Stir to coat them in the broth. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

  4. 5

    Season the broth

    Stir in the chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and garnish

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the clams to a serving bowl. Pour the broth over the clams. Garnish with lemon wedges and additional chopped parsley.

  2. 7

    Serve immediately

    Serve the dish hot, with crusty bread on the side for dipping into the broth.
