Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 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. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Add Clams and Wine

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot along with the white wine. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Clams

    Cover the pot and increase the heat to high. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve the clams in bowls with the broth, garnished with lemon wedges.
