Clam Recipe

Clean the Clams

Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or dirt. Soak them in a bowl of fresh water for about 20 minutes to help them release any remaining sand.

Chop the Ingredients

Finely chop the garlic and shallots. Roughly chop the parsley and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and shallots. Sauté until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

Add Wine and Broth

Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cook the Clams

Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Cover with a lid and allow to steam for 5-7 minutes or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

Finish and Serve

Once the clams are cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta, if desired.
