2 Kg fresh clams

1 cup of white wine
1 cup of water

Wash the clams for a while under the tap with a large colander until all the sand is removed.
Chop the garlic, onion, and parsley into small pieces. Put 6 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic. If you want spicy clams, add a couple of cayenne peppers too. Before it begins to brown, add the bread crumbs and clams.
Remove and add the glass of white wine, a glass of water, the Bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over low heat until all the clams have opened. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, and give them another boil, before serving hot.
If a clam remains closed after being cooked, do not open it because it is not edible.
