👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Thoroughly clean the clams by scrubbing them under cold water and discarding any open ones that don't close when tapped.
2. In a wide pan or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, without browning.
3. Add the clean clams to the pan, along with the dry white wine (if using) and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan tightly and cook for 3-5 minutes, shaking occasionally, until all the clams have opened.
4. Remove from heat. Discard any clams that did not open. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and generously sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
5. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
