How to Make Clams With White Wine

  1. Scrub the clams vigorously under cold running water. Soak them in a bowl of cold, salted water (about 1 tablespoon salt per quart of water) for 15 minutes to purge any sand.
  2. Drain the clams thoroughly.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the clams to the pot. Cover and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until most of the clams have opened. Stir occasionally.
  6. Stir in the lime juice, white wine, parsley, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
  7. Discard any clams that have not opened.
  8. Stir in the bread crumbs. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are lightly toasted.
  9. Season with salt to taste.
  10. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Enjoy!
