4 oz. butter, softened
½ cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons horseradish
5 slices bacon, finely diced
½ large green pepper, finely diced
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely diced
2 sprigs parsley, chopped
12 large clams
Method: Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix butter and bread crumbs thoroughly. A food processor may be used if desired. Place Soy sauce, lemon juice, and horseradish in a bowl. Mix in bacon, green pepper, green onions, celery, and parsley. Fold in bread crumb mixture. Shuck clams and place in half-shells. Top each with bread crumb and vegetable mixture. Bake in preheated oven until brown.
Note: Clams must be chopped somewhat if using a size larger than cherrystones. Use smoked bacon for more taste. Soy sauce is used in place of salt and other flavor enhancers. As a variation, oysters may be used in place of clams. Serves 6
