Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Scrub the 2 lb clams under cold water, discarding any that are open or cracked. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 4 sliced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add the clams and the 0.5 cup white wine. Cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Discard any clams that stay closed. Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately in bowls with the cooking liquid and the crusty bread for dipping.
