seasoning to taste. Grate the cheddar and monterey jack

cheeses and chop and drain tomatoes and green onions,

Clams Oreganato

• 2 6-oz. cans of

minced or chopped

clams

• 2 medium onions

• 5 cloves minced

garlic

• 2 medium shallots

• 1/4 c. fresh parsley

• 1 c. bread crumbs

• 1/2 c. grated cheese

(a combination of

Parmesan, Romano,

and Gruyere is best)

• 1 - 2 T. dried

oregano

• 2 T. olive oil

• 1 T. butter

• 1 t. garlic powder

• salt & pepper to

taste

This is a hard recipe to ruin — you can vary the proportions

of ingredients and it still tastes good.

Heat the oil and butter together over medium heat and

saute the onions, garlic, and shallots until soft and trans-

lucent. Add the parsley and spices for the last few minutes

of cooking. Turn off the heat and stir in the clams, bread-

crumbs, and most of the cheese. Use the reserved clam

juice as needed to moisten the mixture. Stir in garlic

powder, salt and pepper to taste. Spread the mixture

in a buttered, shallow, glass or porcelain baking dish,

sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top, bake at 325° for

35 – 40 minutes. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

A yummy hot hors d’ouevre for 8 – 12 when spread on

plain crackers. Bake in individual clam or scallop dishes

and serve as a first course.
