INSTRUCTIONS
From: "Worden B. Raub Jr." <wraub@SPRYNET.COM> Date: Thu, 15 Aug 1996 15:53:29 -0700 In a heavy skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat stirring until it begins to brown but is not crisp, transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, and discard the fat from the skillet. In the skillet, wiped clean cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat until they are softened, add the bell peppers and the oregano and cook the mixture stirring until the peppers are crisp and tender. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the bacon, the vinegar, the Parmesan, and salt and black pepper to taste. The bell pepper mixture may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Arrange the clams in the reserved shells in a jelly roll pan filled with some of the coarse salt (to balance the shells) divide the bell pepper mixture among them and bake in a preheated 400degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Arrange the clams on a platter with more of the coarse salt. EAT-L Digest 14 August 96 From the EAT-L recipe list. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
