Steps:
- Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
- Place a large heatproof pan on grill near, but not over, the hottest side of the grill. Add butter and garlic and cook until butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and white wine.
- Place clams directly over fire on grill and cook until opened, transferring clams to pan as they open. Season clams with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with grilled bread.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, parsley and bay leaf. Saute until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add clams and wine, raise heat to high, and cover. Boil until all of the clams have opened, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a bowl, then cover.
- Add clam juice to the saucepan, and boil over high heat until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. Remove and discard bay leaf, parsley and thyme sprigs. Transfer contents of pan to a blender, and add garlic confit and lemon juice. With blender running, add remaining 1/2 cup olive oil in a slow steady stream until sauce is smooth and emulsified. For extra garlic flavor, add some of the oil from garlic confit if desired.
- Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust thickness of sauce with more clam juice, if desired. Toss with linguine, and top with clams. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- 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).

Steps:
- Cut prosciutto into strips. In a large frypan, heat oil over medium heat; fry prosciutto until crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Remove to paper towel to drain.
- To the pan, add garlic, half of the parsley and the hot pepper flakes; fry for 1 minute. Add wine; bring to boil over medium high heat, add clams, cover and steam until clams open, about 5 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
- Sprinkle with prosciutto and remaining parsley.
- Ladle clams into small bowls and offer plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for sautéing. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but they will not have the same flavor.
- Soak the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking: This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the clams plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Cook the clams over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Add the white wine, garlic, and tomatoes towards the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor.
- Serve the clams immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Clams sautéed with white wine, garlic, and tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The briny, sweet flavor of the clams pairs perfectly with the acidity of the white wine and the sweetness of the tomatoes. This dish is also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try.
