- For the dry white wine into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Add the cleaned clams to the skillet and cover with a lid.
- Cook the clams for about 5 to 7 minutes until they open, shaking the pan occasionally to distribute heat.
- Discard any clams that do not open after cooking.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley, ground black pepper, and sea salt over the clams.
- Stir gently to combine all flavors and remove from heat.
- Serve the thyme-scented clams immediately with crusty bread or over cooked pasta.
