Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Scrub the 2 lb clams under cold water, discarding any that are open or cracked. Slice the 3 garlic cloves and chop the 4 green onions, separating white and green parts.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and white parts of the green onions, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the 1 cup white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the clams, cover, and cook until they open, about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally.

  4. Step 4

    Discard any clams that stay closed. Sprinkle with the green onion tops and serve immediately with the crusty bread for dipping.
