Ingredients

  • 12 clams Littlenecks

Oreganata Breadcrumbs

  • 2 oz fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 bunch oregano fresh, finely chopped
  • sea salt freshly ground

  • Pinch lemon zest freshly grated

Casino Butter

  • 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

  • Heat through the clams over indirect heat, such as on a rack over a grill or over steam, until they open.
  • Loosen the clams from the shell with a clam knife, so they are easier to eat.
  • Lightly moisten the Oreganata Bread-crumb mix with a little Casino Butter. Spoon a teaspoon of the mixture over each clam.
  • Return clams to the grill until the breadcrumbs start turning a light golden brown.
  • Divide among 4 plates. Spoon a teaspoon of the casino butter on each clam and serve immediately.
