Little neck clams

I think this is one of the easiest things in the universe to make, but people ask me for the recipe all the time...so here you go.

Ingredients
salt, pepper
Olive oil
Butter
White wine
Chicken broth
Garlic
Red onion
Little neck clams
Parsley

Proportions vary with the number of clams..suffice to say you want about 3/4" of liquid in the pot before you add the clams.

Over medium-high heat-
Heat pot. Add oil, butter.
sauté onion til translucence
Add garlic.. Toss until you smell it (10-15 seconds)

Add wine.. Reduce by 1/4..
Add broth..bring to a boil
Add salt and pepper.. Lite on the salt or even eliminate if u like. Clams ship with salt!
Add cleaned and Scrubbed clams.
Cover and keep on med-high heat.. You want steam in there.
Cook for at least 6 minutes.. No peek! Check every minute or so after. When clams start to open, remove from heat, leave covered and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Add chopped parsley

Serve in bowls w crusty bread.
