High-protein dinner: Clam Boil at Home

First, sort through your clams and tap any open ones—if they don’t close, toss them. Only cook live clams! Soak the clams in cool saltwater for an hour to get rid of sand. Switch to fresh saltwater and soak for another 20 minutes. Scrub them under running water to remove any leftover dirt. Fill a big pot halfway with water, season it with salt, garlic, onions, or even a splash of white wine and lemon for extra flavor. Bring the water to a boil. If you’re adding potatoes, corn, or sausage, put those in first and let them cook a bit before adding the clams. Add the clams and boil for 8-10 minutes until they open. Discard any that stay closed. Serve with lemon juice and enjoy! #ClamBoil #SeafoodLovers #HealthyEating #Food #Cooking
