Stuffed Clams Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Place them in a large pot with a little water, cover, and steam until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any that don’t open.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and diced poblano pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large bowl, mix the cooked chorizo mixture with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley until well combined.

4. 4

   Stuff the Clams

   Spoon the filling into the opened clam shells, packing it down gently. Place the stuffed clams on a baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake the Clams

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
