    Ingredients

    • 1 1⁄2 lb. razor clams, washed thoroughly
    • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3–4 dried chiles de Arbol, crumbled
    • 1⁄4 cup white wine
    • 1 1⁄2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves, minced
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Method

    • As soon as you have bought the clams, take them out of the package, wash each of them vigorously under cold running water for at least 5 minutes, and then leave them to soak in a couple of changes of cold water for a further 5 minutes or so. Rinse and dry them well, preferably with a towel that’s been run over a hot oven rack.

    • Get a large pan, one with a lid, that’s big enough to hold all the clams without them being too crowded.

    • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and the chile de Arbol and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

    • After that, add the razor clams and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes.

    • Add the white wine and bring it to a boil.

    • Add the remaining olive oil and the minced parsley, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, turn down the heat to low, cover and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.

    • Mix well and eat.

    • Serving Suggestions: This dish is traditionally served with an accompaniment of bread. You can also provide slices of lemon to squeeze on the clams.
