Two Dads Cook

We're just two dads with a son and a love for food.
Quick Snack: Clams Here’s a simple but utterly irresistible dish that tastes of summer and the sea.  And it’s ridiculously fast, too, so you can have this on the table for a few pals before anyone finishes that first glass of wine.  Be sure to have a good crusty bread on hand to mop up the broth — it’s arguably the best part of the dish.  extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 shallots, diced 18 littleneck clams, rinsed 2 glasses dry white wine parsley, chopped Film the bottom of a saute pan with the olive oil and warm it over medium heat.  Add the garlic and shallots and saute for 2-3 minutes.  Add the clams and give the pan a shake or two to coat.  After a minute or two, add the wine, raise the heat to medium-high and cover, occasionally shaking the pan over the next several minutes.  Discard any clams that fail to open.  Hit the opened clams with the chopped parsley, divide among warmed bowls, and spoon over the broth.  Heaven.
