Clams Oreganata

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

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

  3. 3

    Make the Topping

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the bread crumbs, chopped parsley, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Arrange the Clams

    Place the clams in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the white wine over the clams.

  5. 5

    Add the Topping

    Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each clam, ensuring that they are well covered.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the clams open and the topping is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with additional lemon juice if desired.
