Step 1
Scrub clams under cold water to remove sand. Discard any that won't close when tapped.
Step 2
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add garlic slices and sauté 30–45 seconds until fragrant; don't let them brown.
Step 4
Pour in wine and add clams. Cover and cook until clams open, 5–7 minutes. Discard any unopened ones.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Step 6
Divide clams and broth into bowls. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
