TIM O'TOOLE'S FAMOUS STUFFED QUAHOGS
Classic stuffed quahog recipes used stale bread and lots of seasoning. But my grandmother would have appreciated the pre-seasoned stuffing adaptation in this modernized version.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring water to a boil over high heat. Add sausage links; reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove links from broth; reserve the broth. Remove casings from the sausage.
- Bring the broth back to a simmer and add the quahogs; cook until they open, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the quahogs; reserve the broth. Remove the cooked quahogs from the shells. Separate the shell halves. If necessary wash the shells.
- Place the sausage and quahog meat into the bowl of a food processor; process until chopped, about 12 seconds, depending on your processor. Scrape mixture into a bowl. Add chopped onion to the processor; chop about 5 seconds. Stir in to the meat mixture.
- Make the full container of stuffing according to package directions, using the margarine, and substituting the sausage/clam broth for water. There may be more broth than you need.
- Mix together the stuffing and sausage/clam/onion mixture. Spoon filling into empty clam shell halves and top each with a small pat of butter (about a third of a teaspoon).
- Place the shells on a baking pan; bake in the preheated oven until toasty brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

DAD'S RHODE ISLAND STUFFIES
I will forever remember my Dad for making these for me when I came home during the summer! I love them with the addition of Portuguese sausage! Quahogs are a hard shelled type of clam. If you can not find them, 1 can of minced clams and 1 bottle of clam juice will work as a substitute. Chourice can be found in Portuguese...

QUAHOG STUFFIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine quahogs and wine in a large pot, bring to boil, cover and cook until clams are just open. Cool, drain, reserving broth. Remove clams from shells, saving 12 shell halves. Chop clams coarsely and set aside. Strain broth through coffee filter and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and brown sausage. In a food processor, combine the clams, broth, and sausage with remaining ingredients and process until well blended. Taste to check seasonings. Divide mixture and scoop into the 12 shell halves. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Yield: 12 servings
- How to Shuck a Quahog: Place quahogs in a large pot over medium heat with water just covering them. As quahogs slowly open, remove them from the water. Allow to cool. Using a knife, slit the sides to fully open the clam. Scoop out the insides and reserve with juice in a separate bowl.

BAKED STUFFED QUAHOGS OR CLAMS (RHODE ISLAND STYLE)
Quahogs as we call them in RI are actually large chowder clams. These are delicious but take a little time to prepare. You can make these ahead and freeze them until you are ready to bake and eat. I'm Italian and this is a favorite for our Christmas Eve fish dinner - but we also enjoy them during the summer! YUM!

Steps:
- Preheat oven 350 degrees.
- Shuck quahogs/clams. Chop quahog meat into bite size chunks and set aside. Save shells and juice. You should have 24 shells for 24 "stuffies". Scrub the shells clean before stuffing.
- Melt 1/2 stick of butter and saute celery and onion on medium low heat for about 5 minutes. Add white wine, remaining butter and clam juice and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes to reduce liquid just a bit and butter is melted. Add chopped quahogs and remove from heat. Strain and separate liquid from solids - do not toss anything!
- In a large bowl add stuffing, pour liquid on stuffing. If stuffing is dry add more of the clam juice. Stuffing should have a sloppy soupy consistency.
- Add clam and veggie mixture to stuffing. Remember stuffing must be soupy because when it cooks the liquid will dry up.
- Add 1 T Old Bay at a time, mix and taste - if you need more flavor add a little more. Be careful - Old Bay is salty.
- Place shells on a large pizza/cookie sheet. Spray each with a little oil spray to prevent stuffing from sticking.
- Scoop a large amount of stuffing in each of the quahogs - you may be able to use all 24 shells.
- A few things to remember - do not over cook quahogs in pan w/veggies, stuffing must be soupy - if it's dry add a little more clam juice, be careful with the Old Bay. This a an easy recipe, but it took me a couple of times before I perfected it.
- I put 35-40 minutes for cooking - but when the stuffing is set and the top is crunchy and brown - they are done!
- Enjoy!

- Once the water is rapidly boiling, add your quahogs. Boil them until they open up. If they fail to open up (give them a full 20 minutes) they are bad and should NOT be eaten.
- Once they are boiled, reserve 2 cups of water from the top of the pan. Do not use the water at the bottom because that might have sand residue.

- Pour water into a large pot to come 1" up sides; bring to a simmer. Add clams, cover pot, and steam until clams have opened, 8–11 minutes (discard any clams that don’t open). Drain clams and transfer to a colander. Rinse under cold running water to cool and remove any remaining grit. Remove clams from shells. Reserve 6 shells if using quahogs and 8 if using topnecks; discard remaining shells. Break shells at the hinge to separate sides.
- Meanwhile, pulse bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer breadcrumbs to a large bowl; wipe out food processor. Pulse clams in food processor 3–4 times to coarsely chop. Add to breadcrumbs. Wipe out food processor again and pulse bell peppers and onion until finely chopped.
- Melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add bell pepper mixture and ¾ tsp. salt and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are very soft, 10–12 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vegetable mixture to bowl with breadcrumb mixture and mix well; season with salt. Let stuffing cool.
- Position a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
