How to Make Clams Al Forno

  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. Scrub 2 pounds of clams thoroughly and discard any that are broken or don't close tightly.
  3. Place clams in a single layer in a large oven-safe baking dish.
  4. Evenly distribute the following ingredients over the clams: 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon jarred jalapeños (minced, adjust to taste), 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Roast for 9 minutes.
  6. Gently turn the clams and roast for another 9-10 minutes, or until most of the shells have popped open.
  7. Discard any clams that remain closed.
  8. To serve, spoon 6-8 clams per bowl. Ladle the delicious broth over the clams.
  9. Garnish with 2 chopped scallions per bowl and a squeeze of fresh lemon wedge.
