This exquisite side dish combines the briny goodness of littleneck clams with the aromatic essence of Sambuca, a licorice-flavored liqueur that elevates this recipe to gourmet status. Perfectly suited for a gathering or a cozy dinner, this dish can serve up to six people and is ready in just 45 minutes, making it a great option for entertaining guests or enjoying a special meal at home.
