Clams Casino
Ingredients
1 cup salted butter, 2 sticks
1- 6.5 ounce jar pimentos, drained
2 medium onions, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 ½ cups seasoned bread crumbs
5- 6.5 ounce cans a combination off chopped and minced clams, drained
½ cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Melt butter over medium heat on stove or in microwave.
While butter melts, add pimentos, onions and celery to food processor until they
are well combined (they should make a wet mixture and be very finely chopped).
Add you melted butter, vegetable mixture clams, bread crumbs and cheese to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into clam shells so that they slightly heap, and pat to smooth the tops.
Place clams on a sheet pan and freeze. Once solid transfer to zipper freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
When ready to cook, place on a lined sheet pan, filled side up. Broil on the middle rack (not the top) for
around 20 minutes watching them closely so they don’t burn.
Recipe Notes:
If broiling right away place them under the broiler for a good 10 minutes or until well browned on top and
cooked through- watch them carefully so they don’t burn.
