Steps:
- You can open your clams the old fashioned way or use my shortcut and place the thoroughly rinsed clams in the freezer for a minimum of one hour up to a week. The clams will open slightly which will allow you to easily open them the remainder without risking cutting your hand.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Place sliced bacon and butter into a large saute pan or pot and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes
- Add chopped bell peppers and onion and continue to cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the grated Romano cheese, bread crumbs, black pepper, chopped parsley and oregano. Mix well.
- Place casino mixture into the refrigerator to allow the fixture to firm up. Stir Mixture occasionally so all the ingredients stay well blended.This will take at least 2 hours, so give yourself time.
- Open clams, running a knife under the clam to make sure it is unattached from the shell. Place the opened clams on a cookie sheet until ready to fill.
- Remove casino mix from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon add the prepared Casino mix to the clam. Make a nice mound of it on top of the clam by pressing the casino mix into the clam firmly with your hand. Repeat this process until all of the clams are stuffed.
- Place the clams into a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon and tops begin to get nicely browned.
- Remove carefully from the baking dish. Re-stuff clams with the mix that fell out if necessary. Serve clams on a serving dish or on a bed of rock salt with lemons and parsley as a garnish.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate. Add the bell pepper, shallots, garlic, and oregano to the same skillet and saute until the shallots are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and cool completely. Stir the reserved pancetta and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese into the vegetable mixture. Season the mixture, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Line a heavy large baking sheet with foil. Arrange the clams in the reserved shells on the baking sheet. Spoon the vegetable mixture atop the clams, dividing equally and mounding slightly. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Bake until the clams are just cooked through and the topping is golden, about 10 minutes.
- Arrange the clams on the platter and serve.

Steps:
- Soak the clams in cold water to purge any sand, about 20 minutes. Then scrub them clean to remove any dirt or barnacles from the outer shells and then drain.
- Add the white wine and cleaned clams to a large saucepan. Cover and heat over medium. After a few minutes, check to see if any of the clams have opened. Once they start opening, remove the opened clams to a large bowl to cool. Cover the pot and wait another minute or so before checking to see if any more clams have opened. Discard any clams that don't open after 5 minutes. Once all the clams have been removed, turn the heat down to low and let the white wine and clam juice mixture reduce until there is about 1/3 cup of liquid left.
- In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to render its fat and slightly browns, about 2 minutes. Next, add the shallots and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Use a small fine-mesh sieve to strain the 1/3 cup of white wine-clam juice mixture into the skillet. Stir to combine and cook until the mixture is slightly reduced and cohesive, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and preheat the oven to broil.
- Mix the panko, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Carefully remove the top shell from each clam and use a spoon to loosen the meat from the bottom shell. Place the meat back into the bottom shell and then onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Divide the bacon mixture evenly among the clams, using a spoon to pack the mixture tightly into the shell. Top each of the clams with about 1 teaspoon of the panko mixture.
- Transfer the clams to the broiler and cook until the breadcrumbs are just golden brown, 30 seconds to a 1 minute. Keep an eye on them as the browning can happen quite quickly.
- Remove the clams from the oven and use tongs to transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in skillet until crisp.
- Drain excess fat, roughly chop, and set aside.
- Next, mix the softened butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and cayenne until combined well.
- Arrange the clams in your largest skillet in a single layer.
- Please feel free to steam the clams in batches if they don't all fit in your pan.
- Add a cup or so of water, cover, bring to a boil, and steam clams until their shells just begin to open.
- Remember, the clams will be finished under the broiler, so don't let them go too long in the pan after they begin to open!
- Once the clams are cool enough to handle, twist off the top shell and discard.
- Slide a sharp knife under each clam to loosen it from the bottom shell.
- Line baking sheets or broiler pans with a crumpled large piece of foil - this allows you to press the shells into the foil so they are less likely to tip over.
- Spread about ¼ tsp of seasoned butter on each clam, top with chopped bacon, and ½ tsp of breadcrumbs.
- Arrange clams on baking sheet.
- The clams can be prepared up to this point, and them covered and refrigerated up to 4 hours until ready to broil.
- When ready to serve, preheat broiler.
- Broil clams until crumbs are toasted, and butter is melted and sizzling, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve warm.

Arrange the clams on a platter filled with more of the coarse salt.
