Cherrystone Clam Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Clams

Rinse the cherrystone clams under cold 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 over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3

Add Clams and Wine

Add the rinsed clams to the pot along with the white wine. Cover the pot and increase the heat to high, allowing the clams to steam for about 5-7 minutes until they open.

4

Season and Serve

Once the clams are open, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
