Add the clams to the pot covering it with a tight fitting lid immediately. Continue to cook the clams, shaking the pot once in a while, until the clams open, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the parsley.
Serve immediately with good crusty bread.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Clams on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. One wine you could try is Hahn Winery Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
