Steps

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. 5. Add the clams to the pan, cover with a lid, and steam for 5-7 minutes until all clams have opened. 6. Discard any clams that remain closed. 7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper, and squeeze lemon juice over the clams. 8. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
