Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
½ onion , very finely chopped
500g fresh clams

Steps:

In a medium pan with a lid, heat the oil and cook the onion for 5-7 mins to soften. Rinse the clams in a colander and discard any that are opened and will not close with a sharp tap. Add the ham and garlic to the onion and cook for 1 min.
