ï‚· 2 pounds fresh baby clams
ï‚· 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
ï‚· 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
ï‚· 4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
ï‚· 1 large celery stalk, chopped small
ï‚· 1 cup dry white wine
ï‚· 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Recipe
Purchase fresh clams; do not use any clams that do not close when tapped. Rinse clams in cold water.
In a large deep frying pan, add olive oil, chopped green onions, chopped garlic and chopped celery and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add clams, pour wine over clams and stir; cover and steam for about 4 minutes, shaking pan a few times so that clams cook evenly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and continue to steam for 30 seconds more.
When clams are open, remove to a large bowl. Pour pan juices over clams. Serve clams with garlic butter. Cut some French bread, Italian bread or sour dough bread into chunks and use to dip into the sauce.
