enough water to cover the bottom. Cover, cook over medium heat just until
clams start to open. Remove from heat and set aside. Save all the juice
from the pan

If using canned clams, in a large pan heat olive oil, over low to medium
heat. Add garlic. Saute until it just begins changing color do not brown
it. Add clams with the juice, canned clam juice. As soon as it starts to
boil, lower heat to simmer. Cook 2 more minutes.

bottom of the plate.
