Keto Clams Casino Recipe

Clams Casino is a classic appetizer typically made with breadcrumbs, bacon, and butter. This keto version skips the carbs without sacrificing flavor. It’s a delicious low-carb dish that makes a great appetizer or even a main course!

Ingredients:

• 24 fresh littleneck clams

• 4 slices bacon, chopped

• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced

• 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely diced

• 1/4 cup onion, finely diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Clams:

   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

   • Scrub the clams thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand.

   • In a large pot, add about 1/4 inch of water and bring it to a boil. Add the clams, cover, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the clams open. Discard any that do not open.

2. Cook the Bacon:

   • In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave a small amount of bacon grease in the skillet.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté the diced bell peppers, onion, and garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the Clams:

   • Remove the top shell from each clam, leaving the meat in the bottom shell. Arrange the clams on a baking sheet.

   • Spoon a small amount of the filling onto each clam, covering the meat.

5. Bake:

   • Bake the clams in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.

6. Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes:

• If you prefer extra richness, you can drizzle a bit more melted butter over the clams before baking.

• This dish pairs well with a simple salad or roasted vegetables for a full keto meal.

Enjoy your delicious keto-friendly Clams Casino!
