Servings 4
Ingredients
- 3 lb baby clams
- 12 cloves large garlic grated + more to taste
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + more for finish
- 1 large yellow heirloom tomato diced
- A pinch of sea salt
- The juice from 2 juicy limes + extra wedges for serving
- 1/4 c flat leaf parsley minced
- Bruschetta for serving
Instructions
- In an extra large stainless steel skillet heat up the olive oil on medium-low flame. Add the garlic and quickly stir with a spatula. Cook it for about 15-20 seconds until it releases its flavors but don’t let it get any color.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the pan with the garlic and stir to combine. Add the clams and squeeze in the lemon juice. Cover with a lid, preferably glass so you can see when all the clams have opened up. After about 3-5 minutes all clams will have opened up, discard any that did not.
- Remove from flame, taste and adjust seasonings with sea salt. Finish with a nice drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges and garlicky bruschetta.
