- Wash clams to remove any dirt or sand.
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté for 1 minute, or until tender. Pour in the white wine. Boil until wine has reduced to half its original volume.

I made this for dinner for Valentine's day & they were amazing! I used pinot grigio both in the sauce & as an accompaniment & it went exceedingly well. I served this w/ barely buttered, toasted french bread (very good dipped in the sauce) & the pinot grigio. I had other courses planned & ready to eat but we enjoyed this so much that we decided to forego the other courses (we'll have them for dinner tonight). It was simply the best meal I have ever eaten! - 21 Jul 2008
Great EASY recipe! Steamed about 15-20 minutes. Served with Ceasar Salad and garlic/butter rice. Make sure you have some good dipping bread! Makes a lot of juice! - 21 Jul 2008
Really lovely recipe! I added a bit of chilli with the garlic for a little extra warmth 😁 - 04 May 2017
