Ingredients

1 green garlic, washed, outer skin around the bulb removed, thinly sliced, bulb and greens
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon sweet butter
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup water
4 pounds butter clams, washed

Steps:

Sauté the garlic and parsley in the butter until lightly browned. Season with black pepper, add water and clams. Cover and cook 5 minutes over high heat. Transfer the clams that have opened to a serving bowl. Continue cooking any clams that haven't opened for another 2-3 minutes. Discard any clams that haven't opened.
When you pour the broth over the clams, do so slowly so any sediment is left behind to be discarded. Serve with fresh bread.
