wiffleball 4,640 Posted May 16, 2022 Another clam-tastic Rhode Island specialty food, stuffies elevate the quahog, the state’s most famous native clam species, with a flavorful mix of herbs and breading. The clams are lightly steamed, and their meat removed and diced. The clam meat is then mixed with crushed Ritz crackers, chopped celery and onion, and grated Parmesan. It’s seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, melted butter, and herbs. Some chefs add bacon or jalapenos to the mix for extra flavor. The empty quahog shells are stuffed with the mixture, and baked till golden and crispy on top. Some people like to drizzle more melted butter over their stuffies. I prefer to squeeze a bit of lemon juice on top, then dig in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But stuffies are good. Although you misfire with the squeeze of lemon juice on them - the only proper way to eat a stuffie is with hot sauce drizzled over them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
