These classic stuffed Baked Clams Oreganata are very easy to make and always a crowd pleaser! They can even be prepared ahead of time, then cooked in the oven later. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Steaming Fresh Clams: Add the clams to a large pot with 1/2 cup water and a splash of white wine or lemon juice.
Combine bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano and salt and pepper. Add olive oil, and toss until crumbs are evenly coated. Stir in broth, mixing to blend. Mixture will be quite damp. Put a rounded teaspoon of the crumb mixture on each clam, smoothing the top. Arrange clams on baking sheet with sides, and pour in about ⅛ inch water.
If using canned clams, use these tin clam shells. Steaming Fresh Clams: If you’re using fresh clams, you’ll need to steam them. Set the clams in a large pot with about 1/2 cup water and a splash of white wine or lemon juice. Cover and turn the heat to medium. Allow it to come to a simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until the clam shells open up.
Stir in tomatoes and 1 tablespoon oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with pepper. Add clams, stirring well to coat, then cover pot tightly and increase heat to moderately high. Cook, stirring once, until clams open, 5 to 7 minutes.
