Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds small littleneck clams
Coarse salt, for soaking the clams
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 an onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Spanish paprika (pimenton)
1 tablespoon fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 glass Spanish white wine, such as Albarino
1/4 cup clam broth or natural clam juice
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Crusty sourdough bread, for serving
1 lemon, cut into wedges, optional

Steps:

  • Scrub the clams under cold running water, discarding any that fail to close to the touch. In a large bowl, combine the clams, a handful of coarse salt and enough water to cover the clams. Let stand for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours so that the clams release any sand trapped in their shells. Drain and set aside the clams.
  • Then, in a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute, stirring often, until golden, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the paprika and breadcrumbs and saute a couple of minutes longer, until the ingredients are very fragrant and golden. Add the clams, white wine and clam broth. Cover and let steam for a few minutes, just until the clams open. Discard any clams that don't open.
  • Check the broth for seasoning. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve the clams with their broth and some crusty sourdough bread on the side. Lemon wedges are optional.

  • Soak the clams in saltwater before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
  • Use a large pot to cook the clams. This will give the clams plenty of room to open up.
  • Cook the clams over medium heat. This will help to prevent the clams from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Add flavorings to the cooking liquid. This can include things like white wine, garlic, onions, and herbs.
  • Serve the clams immediately. Clams are best when they are served fresh.
