Clams

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cleaning the Clams

    Rinse the littleneck clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush to scrub the shells if needed.

  2. 2

    Steaming the Clams

    In a large pot, add about 1 inch of water or white wine and bring it to a boil. Place the cleaned clams in a steamer basket or directly in the pot. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.

  3. 3

    Serving

    Once cooked, serve the clams hot with melted butter, lemon wedges, and fresh herbs, if desired.
