Clams casino #1

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Sweet red pepper
1 Bell pepper
½ Medium-size onion
½ cup Bread crumbs
¼ cup Clam juice
¼ pounds Butter; melted
¼ cup Peanut oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Dozen fresh clams; Cherrystone or Littleneck
2 slices Thick bacon; cut into 1/2-inch strips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. Dice the peppers and onion. Thoroughly mix with the bread crumbs by hand.

3. Mix in the clam juice, butter, oil, salt, and pepper.

4. Open the clams and leave on the half-shell. Place a layer of the dressing mixture ¼" thick over each.

5. Top each clam with a piece of the bacon. Place on a baking pan and bake in preheated oven until the dressing is golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes.

To insure the tenderness of the clams, place a small amount of water in the pan before baking, and be sure not to overcook.
