Clams Casino image

This is one of the many seafood dishes I make for Christmas Eve. It is my mom's recipe which, like all of her wonderful recipes, has been passed on to me. Preparing these is a family affair. My three boys and husband do the shucking (which really is the worst part) while I prepare the bacon and sauce. As you can see, I make at...

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

100 little neck clams (shucked and rinsed well to get rid of any shell residue). ok, the worst part is over. discard the top shell and leave the clam in the bottom shell.
1/2 stick butter
olive oil
2-3 clove garlic, minced
1-2 lemons
1/2 yellow pepper -minced
1/2 lb bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
pepper and parsely flakes

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2. Place clams (in their half shell) in jelly roll pans or any type of roasting pans - just make sure the pan has a lip so juices don't run off.
  • 3. In a medium sauce pan melt the butter and then add the equivalent amount of the olive oil - about 1/4 cup.
  • 4. Add the garlic, parsley, pepper, juice from the lemons and yellow pepper to the butter/oil. Cook until the pepper becomes slightly soft.
  • 5. Meanwhile - place the bacon on a paper towel covered plate, cover with another paper towel and microwave. The bacon should be cooked but still soft - not crunchy. You'll have to do this in a few batches.
  • 6. Top each clam with 1/2 tsp. of the sauce and then top with one piece of bacon.
  • 7. Cook for approximately 8 minutes. Serve immediately. They will be gone in no time! ;-)

I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The clams are always cooked perfectly, and the bacon and breadcrumbs add a great flavor. I usually serve this with a side of pasta or rice.
