Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary. Place them in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes to help purge any remaining sand.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the garlic and bell pepper. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped garlic, chopped bell pepper, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 5

    Stuff the Clams

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the cleaned clams on a baking sheet, hinge side up. Spoon the filling mixture generously onto each clam, pressing it down slightly to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Bake the Clams

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove the clams from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
