1
Clean the Clams
Rinse the fresh clams under cold running water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of salted water for about 30 minutes, then rinse again.
2
Chop the Cilantro
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

3
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.
4
Add Wine and Clams
Pour in the dry white wine and bring it to a simmer. Add the cleaned clams, cover the pot, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the clams open up.
5
Season the Clams
Once the clams are open, stir in the chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6
Serve
Remove the pot from heat. Serve the clams hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
