1
Prepare the Clams
Rinse the Manila clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.
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, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add Wine and Herbs
Pour in the dry white wine and add the chopped parsley and thyme. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
4
Steam the Clams
Add the prepared clams to the pot and season with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the clams for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up. Discard any clams that remain closed.
5
Serve
Carefully transfer the clams to a serving dish, pouring the garlic herb broth over them. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
