Ingredients
- 4 cans Minced Clams 6.4 ounces
- 1 Lemon Juiced
- 1 large Onion Diced into small pieces
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 1 ½ cups Bread Crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
- ½ teaspoon Ground Pepper
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Drain the cans of clams and reserve the liquid in a separate bowl.
- Add the clams to a saucepan. Squeeze the lemon juice into the saucepan and simmer the lemon and clams together for 10 minutes.
- Add the onions, 1 ½ cups of clam juice, olive oil, and oregano. Simmer for 2 minutes until the onion softens.
- Remove from the heat and add in the breadcrumbs and hot sauce. The mixture should look moist, but not soupy. If it is too dry, add a little more clam juice.
- Add the mixture to a baking dish and top with parmesan cheese and paprika. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top gets golden brown.
Notes
- If you can only find whole or chopped clams in the grocery store, place the drained clams on a cutting board and cut them into very small pieces.
- To make this dip ahead of time, combine all the ingredients together and then cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake and serve the dip.
- This dip is best served hot.
