I've made preparing traditional clams casino even easier than ever. We open the clams by steaming them instead of shucking them raw. Yup, this is a simple shortcut for restaurant-style clams casino that the whole gang will enjoy, including the chef du jour.
What You'll Need
- 12 large clams, scrubbed
- 1 (4-ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
- 3/4 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 slices bacon
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fill a large soup pot with 1 inch of water and add the clams. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the clams open.
- Pull off and discard the top shell of each clam. In a food processor, combine the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Spoon the bread crumb mixture over the clams and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and heated through. Serve immediately.
