If you’re looking for a warm and cozy fall meal, try this simple dish. A bowl of garlicky clams, steamed in wine and swimming in their buttery juices, not only is easy to make, but also will warm you as you embrace the cooler weather.
If possible, choose littleneck clams for this recipe. Littlenecks are the smallest of the hard-shell clams and are known for their sweet flavor and tenderness. They’re a favorite for serving lightly steamed, as well as raw on the half shell, and tossed with pasta. One pound will yield 10 to 12 clams, depending on their size. If you can’t access littlenecks, you can also use soft-shell clams or Manila clams.
