   3      qt            Steamer clams (24 to 30)
   1      tb            Olive oil
   2      cl            Garlic -- up to 3 cl, minced

Combine onion, shallots, bay leaf, parsley stems, thyme, peppercorns,

5 minutes or until clams open. Remove clams, discarding any that
haven't opened, separate them from shells and chop coarsely. Strain
and save liquid.

Heat olive oil and 1 tb reserved clam juice in a medium-size
non-stick frying pan. Add garlic and mustard and cook for 1 minute.
Add parsley and cook 1 to 3 minutes more. Add 1 cup reserved clam
juice and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half. Add
chopped clams and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Toss clam sauce with linguine, garnish with lemon, if desired, and
serve warm.
