It's easy to guess that one of the main ingredients of this appetizer is the fragrant herb oregano, which gives the clams, baked under a layer of spicy breadcrumbs, their name. Besides oregano, the appetizer's piquant flavor is imparted by white wine, miso paste, garlic, and spicy harissa. The clams are baked in their shells and served in them.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 245°C.
  2. Place the clams in a small skillet and place in the oven. Bake until just opened, 8-10 minutes. Discard any unopened clams. Open the remaining clams completely. Remove the top shells and discard, returning the clams to the lower, deeper shells.

  3. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, olive oil, oregano, harissa, miso, cayenne pepper, garlic, half of the green onion, and salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the broth and white wine until the filling resembles wet sand. Add more breadcrumbs if needed. Sprinkle the clam halves with the filling.
  4. Place the shells on a baking sheet and bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer the clams to a plate and sprinkle with coarse salt and peppercorns. Garnish with chopped parsley and the remaining green onions and serve.
