Ingredients

  • 3/4 stick of butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup of white or red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 or 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes as desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon of crushed fennel seeds
  • 1 cup of dry white wine
  • 3 to 5 pounds of clams, scrubbed, rinsed, and cleaned
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 lemons, one for juice, one for garnish
  • baguette for serving, grilled

Directions

1. Use a small brush to clean the clams thoroughly, and then give them a good rinse. Make sure you have them packed in ice to stay fresh. 

2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots, onion, red pepper flakes, and the fennel and cook for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant but not burned. 

3. Add the wine and increase the heat to medium-high to bring the wine to a hot simmer. Place bread in the oven to warm. 

4. Add the clams, cover with the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until clams have opened. Discard any clams that are still closed. 

5. Add the chives, parsley, and lemon juice and give the pot a quick stir. Transfer the clams to serving dishes (we use soup bowls), then ladle the cooking liquid over them. 

6. Fill your wine glass and enjoy!
