Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Clams

Rinse the hard shell 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, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Add Clams and Wine

Add the cleaned clams to the pot along with the white wine and salt. Stir gently to combine.

4

Cook the Clams

Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.

5

Finish the Dish

Remove the pot from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the clams and sprinkle with chopped parsley and black pepper to taste.

6

Serve

Serve the clams warm, with the remaining lemon cut into wedges on the side.
