1
Prepare the Clams
Rinse the 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 or saucepan, 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.
3
Add Clams and Wine
Add the prepared clams to the pot. Pour the white wine over the clams. Stir gently to combine.
4
Cook the Clams
Increase the heat to high and cover the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
5
Season and Serve
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
