Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Clams

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

  4. 4

    Add Lemon and Season

    Once the clams are opened, squeeze in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with crostini on the side.
