Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small-medium sized shallot (chopped finely)
2-3 large garlic cloves (chopped finely)
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
1 1/2 cups white wine
2 pounds littleneck clams (cleaned and scrubbed)
Juice of 1 lemon
Small bunch of fresh parsley leaves (roughly chopped)

Steps:

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Cook until the butter is almost fully melted.
Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, until shallots just change color. Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring everything together.
Pour in white wine and add in the clams. Give everyone one good stir and cover skillet with a lid. Cook clams until they all open, about 7-9 minutes.
Once done, turn off heat and add lemon juice and fresh herbs. Give everything one more good stir and serve with crusty bread.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 dozen fresh clams (littlenecks or middlenecks, your choice)
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup white wine
2 cups clam juice or water
Chopped parsley leaves
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)

Steps:

Wash the clams thoroughly and remove any blemishes. They should have no odor. Heat oil in a large saucepan (with a cover) over medium heat and cook garlic and onion until translucent. Add the wine and let cook for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors. Add the clams and clam juice (or water) and cover the pan for about 10 minutes until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open and remove clams to serving bowls. Season the juices in the pan with salt and pepper to make a sauce. Pour the sauce and melted butter over the clams.
