Clams

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand and dirt. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Roasted Peppers

    If using fresh peppers, roast them over an open flame or in the oven until the skin is charred. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and chop into small pieces. If using jarred roasted peppers, simply chop them.

  4. 4

    Mix the Topping

    In a bowl, combine chopped beef bacon, roasted peppers, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 6

    Prepare Clam Shells

    Place the cleaned clams in a baking dish, opening them slightly to hold the topping.

  3. 7

    Add the Topping

    Spoon the topping mixture evenly over each clam, pressing it down gently.

  4. 8

    Make the Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and mix well.

  5. 9

    Bake the Clams

    Drizzle the butter-lemon sauce over the topped clams. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the clams are cooked and the topping is golden brown.

  6. 10

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
