Steps:
- Prepare clams: put them in a bowl or pan and cover with cold water; add some cornmeal& salt to the water- they'll ingest this and'spit out' any sand they're carrying.
- Leave them in this for 4 hrs, changing to clean water about halfway through.
- Discard any open clams.
- In a large stockpot, warm the oil over medium heat.
- Add the garlic& red pepper; saute until garlic is golden.
- Add the sausage, onion, tomatoes, wine& water; stir to mix.
- Add the clams, turn heat to high& cover- steam until clams open- approximately 8 minutes.
- Discard any clams that do not open.
- Divide clams and broth into 5 soup bowls; if desired, sprinkle with parsley& cilantro and serve with a lemon wedge.
