Littleneck Clams Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Clams

Rinse the littleneck clams under cold running water to remove any sand or grit. 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 for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

3

Add Clams and Wine

Add the cleaned clams to the pot along with the white wine. Cover the pot and increase the heat to high, cooking for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.

4

Finish with Butter and Seasonings

Once the clams are open, add the butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the clams and stir gently to combine.

5

Serve

Serve the clams in a bowl with the broth, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy!
