Stuffed Clams
Report
These are baked, stuffed clams served either in their shell or a ramekin. It's a fantastic appetizer or starter for a seafood feast.

Ingredients
- 2 Anaheim, poblano or green bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided (You'll need 3 tablespoons melted)
- 1 1/2 cups minced yellow or white onion
- 1 1/2 cups minced celery
- salt
- 3 cups chopped or ground clams, or 3 cans of clams
- Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste
- Worcestershire sauce to taste
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 leeve crushed Ritz crackers (or Saltines), or 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Once you have your green peppers ready and your clams ground or chopped, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and sauté the onion and celery until softened and translucent, but not browned. Salt them as they cook.
- Remove the vegetables to a bowl to cool. When they are cooled, mix well with the clams, the chopped green pepper, Tabasco, Worcestershire, cheese and half of the crushed Ritz crackers. Stir in enough of the clam juices to make a thick paste.
- Stuff the mixture into clam shells or ramekins or small, oven-proof bowls. Top with the remaining crushed crackers and drizzle the remaining butter over them. Grind black pepper over them.
- Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. I like to put the clam shells on a baking sheet so I can take them all out at once. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- You can make these either with large clams with the meat chopped, or as individual clams if you use small clams like cherrystones. If you do that, no need to chop the clams.
