12 cherrystone clams
˝ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons onion, minced
2 tablespoons red pepper, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced

Sauté the onion and pepper in the olive oil until soft.
Add garlic and sauté one minute more.
Combine the onions, peppers, and garlic with the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, chopped clams and reserved clam juice.
Fill the shells and bake at 375 until just browned.
