Oysters With Spinach and Lemon Sauce image

Purchase oysters from a reputable seafood seller. The fresher the better, so ask when they were harvested and avoid oysters more than 3 days old. Look for oysters that are tightly closed and displayed on ice. At home, give them a good scrub and store them over ice in the refrigerator, either in a mesh bag or loosely wrapped in a kitchen towel. Do not place them directly on the ice - the fresh water will harm the. Adapted from Yankee Magazine.

BAKED OYSTERS WITH SPINACH AND CHAMPAGNE BEURRE BLANC



Baked Oysters with Spinach and Champagne Beurre Blanc image

Oysters on the half shell are baked with spinach, and a rich, buttery sauce flavored with champagne and shallots.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 3 cups rock or coarse salt, for baking sheet
2 dozen oysters, shucked, liquor and bottom shells reserved separately
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup dry champagne or sparkling wine
3 large shallots, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 pound fresh or frozen spinach, thawed
Snipped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pour salt into a rimmed baking sheet. Nestle oyster shells in the salt; set aside.
  • Bring cream to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce to simmer; cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place champagne, shallots, and vinegar in another small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook until the liquid is almost evaporated. Add the reduced cream, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Remove pan from heat, and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, adding each new piece before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of thin hollandaise.) Add 1/2 cup oyster liquor to the sauce, and season with salt and white pepper. Keep warm.
  • If using fresh spinach, rinse it thoroughly several times, and place in a saucepan with just the water that clings to the leaves. Cover the pan, and cook spinach until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well, and roughly chop. (Squeeze excess moisture from thawed frozen spinach).
  • Preheat broiler with rack 5 inches from the heat source. Divide spinach equally among the shells. Top with a shucked oyster. Spoon on enough sauce to cover the oyster, about 1 tablespoon per shell. Place under the broiler until sauce bubbles and edges of oysters start to curl, about 1 minute. Garnish with chives, and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest oysters possible. Look for oysters that are plump and have a briny smell. Avoid oysters that are cracked or have a slimy texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to shuck the oysters. This will help to prevent the oysters from tearing.
  • Rinse the oysters thoroughly under cold water. This will help to remove any grit or sand.
  • Pat the oysters dry with paper towels. This will help the breading to adhere to the oysters.
  • Use a light touch when breading the oysters. Over-handling can cause the oysters to break.
  • Fry the oysters in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the oysters will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the oysters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Breaded oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a seafood dish that is both delicious and elegant, give breaded oysters a try. You won't be disappointed!
