2 (6.5 oz) cans minced clams, drained
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup butter
1 small onion, minced

saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
In a medium-size saucepan, combine butter, onion, green bell pepper,
parsley, oregano, hot sauce, and red pepper. Stir vegetables over a medium-low
