Manila Clams Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Rinse the Manila clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Fennel and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel and minced garlic, and sauté until the fennel is soft, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Beans and Spices

   Stir in the cannellini beans, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

4. 4

   Add Clams and Wine

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned clams to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Once the clams are cooked, stir in the chopped herbs. Discard any clams that remain closed. Serve hot with crusty bread.
