Chef's tip
Cook it only until crisp, adding a little oil to the pan - vegetarian bacon cooks much faster than pork bacon and can scorch. If the recipe simmers or bakes the bacon further, set it aside and stir it back in near the end.
½ cup red bell pepper, finely diced
¼ cup green bell pepper, finely diced
2 medium shallots, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tbsp dry white wine
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread a layer of crumpled foil on top to create a bed that will hold the clam shells level.
2
Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are lightly browned but not yet crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a mixing bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving about 1 tbsp of the rendered fat in the skillet.
