These are delicious Clams Casino that my girlfriend makes for me, with a few of my own refinements. Great for the game on Sunday. Ingredients:
24 large clams in shell, scrubbed |
1 green bell pepper |
1 red bell pepper |
1 small red onion |
1/4 cup italian-style dry bread crumbs |
2 cloves garlic, peeled |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces |
Directions:
1. Shuck clams from shell. Clean shells thoroughly. Place each clam onto a clean 1/2 shell; set aside.
2. Preheat broiler for medium heat.
3. In a food processor or blender, combine green and red pepper, red onion, bread crumbs, garlic, sea salt, pepper, oregano and butter. Blend until mixture becomes a mush, but not watery.
4. Spoon 1 teaspoon of mixture onto the top of each clam, and add one 1 inch piece of bacon on top.
5. Place the clams on a broiler pan and place under broiler about 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 8 to 12 minutes or until desired crispness of bacon is achieved.
