Top each clam with some of the breadcrumb topping packing it down tight. In a large bowl, toss the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, scallions, 3 tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, the oregano and the remaining peperoncino. Strain the clam juice through cheesecloth or a very fine sieve into a large rimmed baking sheet (like a half sheet pan).Īdd the white wine, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the butter and half of the peperoncino.
Let the oil and garlic steep in a small bowl for 30 minutes.
