  • 12 fresh mint leaves, slivered
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt

Method

  • Gently pry clam shells open and cut out meat; dice meat into 1/2 inch pieces, discarding any dark, gritty parts and the dark, hard siphon, and place diced meat into a bowl.

  • Cover, and refrigerate 3 hours.
  • After marinating, season the clam mixture with salt to taste.
