When I was home for Christmas, I called up my Aunt Annie and asked her if she would show me my Uncle Mike's famous Clams Casino recipe. Since the below napkin is the only written documentation of this recipe, I thought I would document the process and practice some food photography while learning an amazing family recipe. (Note, the amounts on the napkin aren't accurate and some ingredients are missing. If you want the recipe, ask me!)
First step - make the bacon.
A beautiful sight.
While bacon is cooking, steam clams. Remove top shell and detach clam from bottom shell.
Add bacon fat, pimentos and chopped green pepper to butter. Mix thoroughly. Spread bacon-butter mixture onto each clam:
Top each clam with a 1-2" piece of bacon:
Add bread crumbs, grated parmesan and pepper.
Ready to broil!
And done!
Slurp and enjoy!
