New Jersey Bay stuffed clams, we live on the coast in Jersey where there is an abundance of fresh seafood. I like to try new recipes and have a lot of fun inventing my own.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

20 fresh clams (, I PREFER CHERRYSTONE SIZE)
1 lb bacon
1 large onion
1 large green bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Open clams, making sure to save any juice and half the clam shells.
  • Chop the clams by hand or use the food processor; set aside.
  • Dice the bacon and cook until done.
  • When cool, add to the clams.
  • Dice the vegetables and add to the clams.
  • Add seasonings.
  • Add the bread crumbs 1/2 cup at a time, until it resembles stuffing.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add the reserved clam juice.
  • Spoon mixture into clam shells and bake for 15 or 20 minutes (when peppers are tender, the clams are done).
  • Enjoy.
