👨‍🍳 Method

1. Clean the clams: Soak them in salted water for a few hours to remove sand. Rinse and scrub the shells well.
2. Sauté garlic: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add clams: Toss in the cleaned clams and stir well.
4. Pour wine: Add white wine and cover the pan. Let the clams steam for about 5–7 minutes until they open.
5. Finish the sauce: Add lemon juice, chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve hot: Spoon the clams and sauce into a bowl and serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
