Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 60 seconds until it shimmers.

  2. Step 2

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not brown.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in white wine and bring to a simmer, stirring once to deglaze the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Add clams, cover the skillet, and cook for 6–8 minutes until shells open. Discard any that don't.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat, stir in cilantro, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve clams in bowls with broth, crusty bread on the side, and a lemon wedge for squeezing.
