Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

36 littleneck clams, shucked (reserve half of the shells for filling), juices reserved and strained
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Coarsely chop shucked clams, and put in a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, bell pepper, parsley, oregano, and salt. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and toss with a fork to combine.
  • Stuff the reserved clamshells with the filling, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle each clam with a little of the reserved clam juice, pouring any extra juice, along with the white wine, into the bottom of the pan. Drizzle the clams with 3 tablespoons olive oil, and drizzle the remaining tablespoon oil in the bottom of the pan with the juice and wine.
  • Bake until clams are lightly browned and crusty, about 15 to 20 minutes. To serve, set clams on plates with remaining sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for each.
  • notes
  • Another option-one I like very much-is not to chop the clams.
  • Shuck the clams, and leave each whole clam in a half-shell. Toss all the other ingredients separately, then cover the clams with a light coating of the mixture. Pat lightly, and continue as per recipe.
