This will be my go to for clams from now on. I used less oil and way more garlic - I actually thought it said 12 cloves sliced! I also added speck with the garlic and it was delicious! The bread was outstanding and dipping it is heaven. Yes the oil and salt are really extreme! Someone didn't test or read this recipe b4 publishing
