Little Neck Clams-o-Love Over Pomme Frites
Let the bivalves that gave our neighborhood its name cast a culinary spell on you and your loved one this Valentine's Day
Nothing says, "I love you," like our very own Little Neck clams sautéed in a white wine sauce — except maybe when these same clams come with french fries.

Instructions
1. Sauté garlic and onions in 2 tablespoons of olive oil
2. Add wine to the pot, lower the heat and let everything simmer for 3 minutes.
3. Add clams to the mix, and simmer over a medium heat until the clams open, throwing away any unopened clams that don't open after about 10 minutes of simmering.
4. Meanwhile in a separate pot cook french fries in the remaining olive oil, and salt to taste.
5. Once the fries are nice and crispy throw them in a strainer, and drain the excess oil.
6. Put fries in a large bowl, and dump the clams along with all of the white wine juices on top of them.
7. Garnish with parsley.
