Yield Serves 4 as appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large red bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 garlic clove, peeled
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
3 slices pancetta or bacon, cut into 24 pieces
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Char bell pepper over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and coarsely chop bell pepper. Transfer to processor. Add oil, oregano and garlic; puree until smooth. Season coulis with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Line large baking sheet with foil. Arrange clams on sheet. Bake until clams open, about 6 minutes (discard any that do not open). Cool slightly. Remove top shells; discard, leaving clams in half shells on sheet.
  • Preheat broiler. Top each clam with 1 teaspoon coulis, then 1 pancetta piece. Broil clams until coulis bubbles and pancetta browns, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter. Garnish with lemon; serve.
