I substituted store-brought italian bread crumbs and used real chunks of garlic and it turned out delicious. Also shaved a healthy portion of romano into the mix. Very tasty!
This is a great recipe and so easy to make. You couldn't get any better in the finest Italian restaurant! Thanks Lisa!
Great. I used little necks but would use cherry stones next time. Didn't have unsalted crackers so I used 15 club crackers. Added 2 TBs of garlic powder instead of 3 and 1 TB of dried onion. Instead of 1/2 cup butter I sauteed two pieces of bacon (chopped) then added 2 TBS of butter then EVOO to moisten bread crumbs. Next time I'll sprinkle parmesean over top. Turned out great.
This is the closest recipe to one one the greatest dishes in Santa Barbara at a renown resturant called brophy's. This got me clse although I just used regular bread crumbs but the extra ingrediants that made it a 5 was adding parmesian and a piece of bacon in it befre baking. It is better to cook the bacon beforehand.
Wow - and then some! I used oyster crackers smashed up in a freezer baggie. I had 12 giant Quahog clams that I shucked myself - saved the clam liquor & froze. I added bay scallops green peppers green onions garlic parsley and mixed it all together. Added a small amount of clam liquor. Melted more than 1/2 stick butter. Filled up and pressed down the clam mixture into the big clam shells - it still made me 14 clams! Topped with melted butter and baked for 20 min - remember my clams had not been cooked. The result is out of this world!!!! Better than I've had at ANY seafood restaurant and I've been cooking clams for half a century!!!!! Thank you Lisa!
This recipe is great and simple to make. It tastes just like it is restaurant made. My family loves to eat these clams as an appetizer.
very good! I gave four stars because I felt the taste got a little over whelming after 3 and that was w/ just two tbls of garlic. Would not use as a main course but a great appetizer.
This recipe is good but one has to be careful because the flavor of the garlic overlaps the seafood flavor. I didn't like the fact that the cracker got kind of crumbly it will be better to lift the clam with a fork before adding the cracker otherwise it will fall of the shell while taking the clam out.
I grilled minced onions in skillet before adding other ingredients. They were very moist and flavorful.
