BAKED CLAMS

Baked Clams image

I haven't tried this yet, but this is VERY similar to a recipe I used on my honeymoon to prepare fresh clams. Now, living in Indiana, I'll have to find some alternative to fresh. :-(

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 -4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably homemade)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
36 small clams or 36 small cherrystone clams, shucked, 36 half shells reserved
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 -6 tablespoons butter, melted
lemon wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

Combine the garlic, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.
Coarsely chop the clams and combine with the lemon juice in a separate bowl.
Place the clam shells on a baking sheet, using a thin bed of rock salt to stabilize them if desired, and divide chopped clams between them.
Top with the bread crumb mixture and drizzle with the butter.
Cook under a preheated broiler until the topping is golden brown and the clams are bubbling, about 2 minutes.
Garnish with lemon wedges.
