Author Notes
These clams open their mouths in a broth of beans, kale, wine, and garlic. I took to removing a bunch from their shells and smearing the whole mix over toasted bread. —Just Me and The Clams

3 pounds
little neck clams

4 tablespoons
butter

1
large onion, chopped

1
bunch of kale, roughly chopped

garlic cloves, minced

Directions
-
Scrub the clams in the sink clean. I use a small brush that is meant for cleaning floors.
-
Heat the butter in the pot on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and kale, stirring slowly so nothing burns.
-
After about a minute, add the garlic, white wine, lemon zest, and clams. Cover, steaming the clams open for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Add the beans, oil, and lemon juice. Serve with lemon wedges and toasted or grilled bread.
