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).
- 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.

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.
FISH, CLAMS, AND MUSSELS WITH WHITE WINE AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Cut striped bass fillets and halibut fillets into 2-inch cubes (don't use tuna or salmon - they do not belong in a fish stew). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots, chopped garlic, and dried crushed red pepper. After they are light brown (about 2 minutes), add parsley, then quickly throw in the fish. Add salt and pepper to taste. After the fish is lightly colored, add clams and mussels and white wine. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (when the mussels and clams open, the stew is done). Okay? Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Serve with 1/2-inch-thick slices of Italian bread, fried in olive oil, on the side. That's it; it's done.
Tips:
- Choose fresh clams: Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
- Soak the clams in cold water: This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
- Use a good quality white wine: A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well in this recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the clams in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that the clams cook evenly.
- Serve immediately: Clams are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as an appetizer or main course.
Conclusion:
Clams with garlic and white wine is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh clams and is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The briny flavor of the clams pairs perfectly with the garlic and white wine, and the dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
