Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 strips bacon
1 small green bell pepper
1 small red bell pepper
1/2 sweet onion
1 jalapeño
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 dozen small cherrystone or large littleneck (i.e. topneck) clams

Steps:

  • Cut each bacon strip into 4 pieces and lightly fry in a pan over medium heat. (You don't want the bacon to become crispy since it is going to go into the broiler later.) Remove and set aside half-cooked bacon.
  • Chop the peppers and the onion into a medium dice. Chop the jalapeño finely, discarding seeds. It's a good idea to wash your hands afterward.
  • Add the peppers, the onion and the jalapeño to the softened butter.
  • Add the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to taste.
  • Add a generous pinch of the vegetable mixture to each of the opened clams on its half shell. Place a piece of the cooked bacon on top of the mixture on each clam.
  • Place the clams under the broiler and let cook until the vegetables begin to wilt and the bacon is almost crisp, around 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
