Clams are wonderful served raw, fried, broiled or in chowders or other fish stews. One of my favorite clam dishes is Clams Casino, a classic baked preparation that originated in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
Ingredients
- 24 little neck or cherry stone clams, cleaned and shucked, bottom shells reserved shopping list
- rock salt shopping list
- 4-6 slices of bacon shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 1 tablespoon butter shopping list
- 1 shallot, minced shopping list
- 1 garlic clove, mince shopping list
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste shopping list
- ½ cup minced white onion shopping list
- ¾ cup minced green and red peppers shopping list
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano shopping list
- ½ cup dry white wine shopping list
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs—oregano and basil are nice shopping list
- 1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) shopping list
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese shopping list
How to make it
- In a large sauté pan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels and crumble; set aside.
- Wipe out the sauté pan, but don’t wash it. Heat the pan over medium-high heat for a minute or two, then add the olive oil and butter.
- Sauté the shallot, garlic, onion and peppers with the oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper until softened.
- Turn the heat to medium high and add the wine. Reduce the pan liquid until only about ¼ cup remains. Cool the vegetables completely.
- Stir in the panko, reserved bacon, fresh herbs and half the Parmesan cheese. Taste and correct seasonings.
- Shuck the clams, reserving the bottom shells. Arrange them on a bed of rock salt on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Divide the stuffing equally among the clams, mounding it up slightly. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan evenly over the stuffing
- Bake at 500°F until the clams are cooked and the topping is deep golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
