Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 medium-sized fresh clams
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small, finely chopped yellow onion
- 0.5 medium, finely diced green bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 large egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the clams under cold running water, scrubbing their shells to remove any grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.
Steam the clams in a pot with half a cup of water over medium heat until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Remove clams as they open and set aside to cool. Discard any clams that do not open.
Carefully remove the clam meat from the shells and chop it finely. Reserve the shells for stuffing. Set the meat aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened but not browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine, scraping up any bits at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces slightly, about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and the chopped clam meat. Mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk, salt, and black pepper together, then fold it into the clam mixture to bind it.
Arrange the reserved clam shells on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture into each shell, packing it lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve the deviled clams immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
