Notes

Distribute the reserved clam juice among the clams. Melt the butter in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water and a place a steaming basket over the top. Place the pot over high heat. Once boiling, add the clams to the basket and cover for 1-3 minutes, until just barely opened.

Try to find the Sicilian oregano, dried right on the branch, for this recipe; it makes a difference. Try to get clams on the larger side, and you’ll have plenty of space in the shell for the crispy crumbs.

Recipe from Lidia’s Italy at Home magazine.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 dozen littleneck clams, shucked on the half shell, juices reserved
• ½ cup dry white wine
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• ¼ teaspoon peperoncino
• 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated Grana Padano
• 4 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano, preferably the Sicilian on the branch, crumbled
• Kosher salt

Directions

Let the oil and garlic steep in a small bowl for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Strain the clam juice through cheesecloth or a very fine sieve into a large rimmed baking sheet (like a half sheet pan).

Add the white wine, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the butter and half of the peperoncino.

In a large bowl, toss the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, scallions, 3 tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, the oregano and the remaining peperoncino. Season lightly with salt. Toss until thoroughly blended.

Top each clam with some of the breadcrumb topping packing it down tight. Set the clams in the prepared baking pan and drizzle the remaining infused oil over them, leaving the garlic behind.

Bake until the pan juices are bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the clams to a warm platter or divide among serving plates. Spoon the sauce from the baking dish onto the plates, not over the clams, to keep the breadcrumbs crispy. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

• 18 medium-sized (about 2 1/2-inches) littleneck clams
• 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 strips center-cut bacon, each sliced into 6 equal pieces (18 total)
• 3 tablespoon finely diced red bell pepper
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
• lemon wedges
• rock salt as needed

Instructions

1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until cooked, but not quite crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate and reserve.
2. Add the red pepper to the bacon drippings in the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, black pepper, and salt. Reserve the mixture until needed.
3. Add about 2 inches of water to a Dutch oven, or other heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, and bring to a rapid boil over high heat. Add clams, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or just until the shells open. It’s critical to remove and drain the clams as soon as they open. Allow the clams to cool until they can be handled.
4. Twist and pull the clamshells apart, and remove the clam. Place the clam back into the deeper of the two shell halves. Spread the rock salt on a heatproof baking dish, and set the clams on top of the salt, pressing in slightly.
5. Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each clamshell, and top with one piece of bacon. Broil on high, about 8 inches from the heat, until the tops are browned and the edges of the bacon are crisp. Sprinkle on the fresh parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges.
