Directions

1

Prepare the Clams

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

2

Cook the Aromatics

In a large pot, melt the butter 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 white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the prepared clams and cover the pot with a lid.

4

Steam the Clams

Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

5

Finish and Serve

Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Serve immediately, spooning the broth over the clams.
