Better Than Dad's Clam Casino image

I've been trying to copy my Dad's version of Clam Casino to no avail (even when I have him on the phone) So I gave it up and made up my own; guess what? They're BETTER!

Time 30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

30 quahogs (chowder clams)
3 large elephant garlic cloves, minced
1 large vidalia onion, minced
1 red pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups cheese, I buy a bag of Italian five cheeses already shredded (parmesan, mozzarella, asagio, provolone)
breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Saute the first six ingredients in olive oil until softened but not browned.
  • Steam clams in batches and remove as they JUST BEGIN TO OPEN. Allow to cool and reserve clam broth.
  • Remove clams from shells and save half of each shell.
  • Process clams with a little broth in a food processor until a little chunky.
  • Combine clams with first six ingredients and add 1 cup of mixed cheeses, mix well.
  • Add breadcrumbs, mixing completely until it holds together like a stuffing; if it seems a little dry add more clam broth.
  • Fill clam shells with this mixture and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

These were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

These were good, but not as good as I was hoping. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it.
