ingredients
- 36 littleneck clams (I make about 3 dozen for 2 people)
- 6 -8 minced fresh garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- white wine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
directions
- Heat olive oil in large pan (use enough to lightly coats bottom -- about 3 TBSP).
- Saute garlic until a little soft (DO NOT let it brown).
- Place clams in pan on top of oil & garlic (try to place in single layer, but can be double on top of each other).
- Add enough white wine to barely cover/meet the middle of the clams.
- Add crushed red pepper and thyme (you can change the amounts to your liking -- I usually make it pretty spicy).
- Cover with a tight lid and steam until all clams have opened (I use a clear glass top so I can watch them and not have to take the lid off, but you don't have to).
- Poor into large bowl and serve.
- Enjoy with some crusty bread for dipping in the sauce.
