Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or to taste

  • ¼ cup water

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 1 ½ pounds clams in shell, scrubbed

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic and bouillon; saute for 5 minutes. Increase heat and add water and wine.

  2. Add clams and cover with a glass lid. Steam until clams open, shaking to pot gently to redistribute the clams, about 6 minutes; do not open the lid.

  3. Use a slotted spoon to remove clams to a serving bowl; discard any that did not open.

  4. Add parsley, salt, and pepper to the broth. Pour broth over the clams and serve.

Cook's Note:

Do not use any clams that are not fully shut prior to cooking.
