Clams Casino

It was just myself for lunch today. So this is just a single serving here. Makes 1/2 dozen little neck clams. My son is a clam lover and we got a huge bag last night. I promised him Clams and Spaghetti for dinner so check back for that recipe later today or tomorrow morning! 


1/2 Dozen little neck clams, cleaned and shucked, bottom shell reserved.
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 roasted red pepper, chopped
2 slices of bacon, chopped finely
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
1 glove garlic, minced
A couple splashes of   White Wine ( I used Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio)
Preheat oven to 400
In a saute pan add onions, bacon and  garlic.  Cook about 5 minutes.  Then add in the red peppers, parsley, and wine.  Cook until wine evaporates.  Spoon filling on top of the clams and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil.  Bake for about 8 minutes or until tops start to crisp. Serve with lemon and fresh Parsley if desired.
