Method
6 steps · 35 minutes
- Sit the clams in cold salted water for 20 minutes so they spit their grit out, then lift them clear rather than pouring.
- Shuck them and keep each one on the deeper half shell with its liquor.
- Half-cook the bacon so it renders but stays limp. Raw, it will not crisp in the time the clam needs; fully cooked, it burns.
- Beat the softened butter with the shallot, diced pepper, parsley and plenty of black pepper.
- A little butter on each clam, a piece of bacon on top, and sit them on a bed of coarse salt so they cannot tip.
- Broil 5 minutes until the bacon crisps and the butter bubbles. Any longer and the clams tighten into erasers.
