1
Prepare the Clams
Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
3
Add Wine and Clams
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the cleaned clams and cover the pot with a lid.
4
Steam the Clams
Cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.
5
Finish and Serve
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
