Clams Casino Recipe (Easy and Delicious)
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh clams, scrubbed and debearded
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Arrange the clams in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Spoon the butter mixture over the clams.
- Pour the white wine into the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the clams are open.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Tips
- To make sure the clams are fresh, tap them on a hard surface. If they don’t close, they’re not fresh and should be discarded.
- If you’re not sure if the clams are cooked, insert a knife into one of the clams. If the clam is cooked, the meat will be opaque and the juices will run clear.
- Clams Casino can be served as an appetizer or as a main course. If you’re serving it as a main course, you can add some rice or pasta to the bottom of the baking dish.
Variations
- You can add other vegetables to the clams, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini.
- You can also add some herbs to the butter mixture, such as thyme, rosemary, or basil.
- If you don’t have any fresh clams, you can use canned clams. Just be sure to drain them well before using them.
Enjoy!
Clams Casino is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. Serve it with a glass of white wine and enjoy!
