Recipes for a Rhode Island Summer

Hope you enjoy this recipe. Sometimes I add a couple of shakes of garlic salt.

BAKED STUFFED QUAHOGS, SAGAMORE BEACH STYLE
6 strips bacon (or salt pork)
½ cup minced onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt (omit if you use salt pork)
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
2 tablespoons A-l Sauce
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
Approximately 40 medium-size quahogs (1 pint drained, minced quahogs)
¼ cup clam juice
Bread crumbs as needed

Saute bacon and onion in oil in skillet or electric frypan set at 350 degrees. Add green pepper, oregano, paprika, salt, parsley, A-l and Tabasco. Cook until onions are soft. Reduce heat to low, 200 degrees or less. Add clam juice or water. Add clams. Add bread crumbs gradually until mix is pasty-firm.

Oil clam shells and fill with mix. Bake in pan in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until oil bubbles up on side of shell. If desired, dust with grated cheese or anything that looks good.
