littleneck clams<\/p><\/div>\n

there’s been lots of disagreement about the origin of this dish but the most famous story brings us to the narragansett pier casino in rhode island. the year is 1917. the ma\u00eetre d of the casino\u2019s restaurant, julius keller, was asked to prepare something extra special for wealthy socialite paran stevens and her party. his creation was a baked clam dish that included bacon, breadcrumbs, garlic, shallots, peppers and parsley. mrs. stevens was so impressed that she dubbed the dish “clams casino”.<\/p>\n

whether this story is historically accurate or not, this is one killer appetizer!<\/a><\/i><\/b> there are tons of different styles of this dish, but the one thing they all have in common is bacon. i\u2019ve used pancetta in the past and it was delicious but i think i prefer thin sliced applewood bacon the best. most recipes include breadcrumbs too but our recipe keeps it simple with smaller amounts of great fresh ingredients. <\/b>plump fresh littlenecks, mas portell piquillo pimientos, fresh thin sliced applewood bacon and reggiano parmesan cheese. the clam is the star, perfectly complimented by the salty, smoky, spicy, garlicky and cheesy decadence.\u00a0enjoy!<\/b><\/p>\n
