Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse clams under cold water, scrubbing shells with a stiff brush to remove any sand.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until fragrant, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly—stop before it browns.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in white wine, then add clams. Cover and cook 5-7 minutes until all shells open.

  5. Step 5

    Discard any unopened shells, stir in cilantro, and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Serve clams and broth in bowls with toasted bread on the side for dipping.
