1
Prepare the Clams
Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in salted water for about 30 minutes to help purge any remaining sand.
2
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Do not let it brown.
3
Cook the Clams
Add the cleaned clams to the pot and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up. Discard any that do not open.
4
Finish with Parsley and Lemon
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
5
Serve
Serve the clams immediately in deep bowls, drizzled with the garlic sauce. Enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
