Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

4 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/8-inch dice (ask the butcher

to slice the pancetta 1/8 inch thick when you buy it)

2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice

6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

2 to 3 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes

1 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

3 pounds small clams, , scrubbed

12 ripe Sungold or cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Preheat a gas grill or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.

In a 10- to 12-inch sauté pan, combine the oil and pancetta and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers, garlic, and pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the peppers are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Stir in the parsley, remove from the heat, and set aside to cool completely.

Cut six 12-inch squares of heavy-duty foil. Layout the squares on a large work surface and fold up the edges of each one to form a shallow bowl. Divide the clams among them, then divide the pancetta mixture, with its liquid, among them. Scatter 4 tomato halves over each pile. Bring the four corners of each foil packet up over the clams like a hobo sack and twist the top together securely, crimping the edges to create a tight seal.

Place the packs on the hottest part of the grill and wait until you can hear the juices bubbling, about 2 to 3 minutes, then let cook for 4 minutes longer. Transfer the packets to a large platter and serve, warning your guests of the piscatorial facial that awaits them.
