Hola Nomads!

I have a kilo of shucked Chocolates and would appreciate a recipe for Stuffed Clams.

Chop the clams...put them back in the shell with melted butter, finely chopped garlic and serrano pepper, top with seasoned bread crumbs and broil!

Broil/smoke them on the BBQ for extra flavor!

Woooosh Baked Clams: (CT Yankee style)

one pound bacon, one large yellow onion and three large Jalapenos- all chopped fine. Fry the bacon, onions and pepper until soft. Put the clams in the freezer a half hour or so- they will open a bit on their own. Open the clams with a knife, cutting through the muscles. Rinse them carefully of sand while still in the opened shell. Removed all the clam meat and muscle and reserve the clam juice. Chop the clam meat. Take the bacon mixture out of the pan, add four tablespoons of butter and fry the clams in the butter/bacon fat. Once the clams are cooked add the bacon, onion and pepper mix back into the clams. Add the clam juice, one beaten egg, and a teaspoon of Old Bay. Toast a couple English Muffins and then put them in a food processor to make bread crumbs. Mix the crumbs into the other ingredients. Scoop the mixture into the half clam shells and wrap each one in foil. Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

Chop up:
1 cup Onions,
2 cups Tomatos,
3 or 4 Pepers
3 cups Clams
4 or 5 slices Bacon
Put back in the shell add a small pad of butter and cover with your favorite cheese.
Put on a mid. heat Barby until they start to begin to bubble.
Pull from fire and consume. The shells will be very hot. We add Tapatio to our but some think its to spicy
works on a open fire just don't over cook!

Chop up clams.
On the half shell:
Some canned spinach
Strip of fried, crispy bacon,
Chopped clams,
Mandego cheese,
top with some chipotle chili sauce.
On the barbeque for 5 to 7 minutes. Don't overcook.

Use Italian Bread Crumbs for a bit more flavor and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over everything.

OK. On the clam thing. With the local Baja Norte clams I always chop and cook them completely before mixing them with the stuffing ingredients. You do need to be extra careful as the water up here is not pristine and clams are basically water filters.
