Ingredients

2/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup bread crumbs
5 strips of double cut bacon, partially cooked
24 topneck clams on the half shell, arranged on a bed of rock salt

Steps:

Saute the peppers, shallots and garlic in a medium saute pan briefly in 2 tablespoons of the butter to soften slightly (1 minute maximum). Season this mixture with salt, cayenne and fresh pepper and remove to a plate to cool off. Blend the butter, the cooled off vegetables, parsley and lemon juice in a bowl. Dab a generous amount of this butter mix on each clam, sprinkle with fresh bread crumbs and top with a small piece of bacon. Run under the broiler to heat the clams and brown the bacon. You could also bake the clams in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes to obtain the same result.
