Clams are an excellent source of iron.

tablespoons chopped garlic
1/2
cup dry white wine
1/4
cup chopped red bell pepper
2
tablespoons lemon juice
1

Discard any clams that remain open when tapped with fingers. To clean clams, scrub with stiff brush under cold running water. Soak clams 20 minutes in mixture of 1/2 cup salt to 1 gallon water. Drain water; repeat 2 more times.

Cover; simmer 3 to 10 minutes or until clams open. Transfer clams as they open to large bowl; cover. Discard any clams that do not open. Increase heat to high.
