Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Discard any clams that remain open when tapped with your fingers. (They are junk)
  2. To clean clams, scrub with a stiff brush under cold running water.
  3. Soak the clams in a mixture of 1/2 cup of salt to 1 gallon of water for 20 minutes. Drain water and repeat 2 more times. (This is the most time-consuming part, but I learned this while living in Baltimore. I had sandy clams up in New England once and thought I'd never eat another clam again. Then, I got this tip!)
  4. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot.
  5. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir about 2-3 minutes or until garlic is tender but not brown.
  6. Add clams, wine, pepper and lemon juice.
  7. Cover
  8. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until clams open.
  9. Transfer clams as they open to a large bowl; cover
  10. Discard any clams the do not open!!!
  11. Increase heat to high.
  12. Add parsley, boil until liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup.
  13. Pour over clams.
  14. Serve immediately.
  15. Garnish with extra parsley springs, if you're feeling fancy :)
