Ingredients
- 50 littleneck clams (no larger than 2 inches across)
- 1 cup white wine
- 4 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Run the clams under cool water and scrub clean with a stiff brush, discarding any that are open and won’t close when tapped on a firm surface. Rinse and set aside.
- In a stockpot, add the wine and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Gently add the clams to the boiling wine, then cover and steam until fully opened, about 5 minutes.
- While the clams are steaming, melt the butter or ghee in a microwave and add the minced garlic. Distribute into small bowls.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Be sure to pour the steaming liquid into the serving bowl to help the clams stay nice and warm.
