Instructions

1
Place the scrubbed clams in a large bowl of cold water and let them sit for 5 minutes, then lift them out and discard any with cracked shells or that remain open when tapped.
2
Melt 2 tbsp butter with the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the butter is foamy and the fat shimmers.
