Method

Preparation

Clean the Clams

Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of fresh water for 20-30 minutes to allow them to purge any remaining sand.

Mince Garlic

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Chop Parsley

Rinse the fresh parsley, shake off excess water, and chop it finely. You will need about 1/4 cup of chopped parsley for the dish.

Cooking

Sauté Garlic

In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Add Clams and Wine

Add the cleaned clams to the pot, followed by the white wine. Stir to combine, and cover the pot with a lid.

Cook Clams

Allow the clams to steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up. Discard any clams that remain closed.

Add Butter and Seasoning

Once the clams are cooked, add the butter, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and let the butter melt.

Serve

Transfer the clams and broth to a serving dish. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread.
