- Add onion, garlic, tomatoes and coriander, and cook until the onion softens (approximately 3 minutes).
- Add the clams and pour in the wine.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer and cover the pot.
- Simmer until the clams open, approximately 6-8 minutes. (If any of the clams do not open, toss them out).
- Remove the clams to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the remaining liquid by half, then pour over the clams.
- Garnish with remaining coriander and serve with crusty, toasted country bread.
