Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water and scrub them to remove any dirt or sand. Soak them in cold water for about 20 minutes to help purge any remaining sand.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cooking Liquid

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Steam the Clams

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

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately with some of the broth.
