OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER



Oysters Rockefeller image

In this classic recipe, the Rockefeller name refers to the dollar bill-green color of the sauce - and its richness, as it's loaded with butter, garlic, spinach and herbs. You can make the butter sauce up to three days ahead and store it in the refrigerator, then drop dollops of it on shucked oysters just before broiling. Watch the oysters carefully as they broil. You want the bread crumbs in the topping to turn golden and the oysters to warm up slightly but not cook through. Serve these with forks on the side; all the hot, buttery sauce makes them too slick for slurping.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (24 oysters)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup finely chopped baby spinach
1 cup finely chopped parsley, leaves and tender stems
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated, passed through a press or minced
Pinch of fine sea salt or table salt
1 lemon
Coarse, rock or kosher salt, or crumbled-up foil, for the pan (to stabilize the oysters)
24 oysters, shucked

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and sauté until they are just a tiny bit golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach, parsley, shallot and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in a small pinch of salt.
  • Finely grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the lemon and add it to the bread crumb mixture. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out 1 tablespoon of the juice; mix into the pan.
  • Heat the broiler to high. Fill a baking pan (or two) with a 1/2-inch layer of salt or line the pan with crumbled up foil (to steady the oysters so the juices don't spill). Lay the oysters on top of the salt or foil. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the sauce mixture on top of the oysters. Broil until just golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon on top, if you like.

The Darby's Oysters Rockefeller image

A classic recipe for oysters, said to be "as rich as Rockefeller," gets an update from chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Food Network host and executive chef at The Darby.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 18

48 small to medium oysters, such as Wellfleet or Beau Soleil, scrubbed
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch slices
6 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
Coarse salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Herbsaint
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely chopped oil-packed anchovy fillets, in their oil
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 pound baby spinach, stemmed, washed, and chopped
1 pound fresh watercress, stemmed, washed, and chopped
2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup toasted panko
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 scallions, trimmed, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place a strainer over a medium bowl; gently shuck the oysters over the strainer, using the strainer to catch the meat and strain the liquor into the bowl. Reserve the deeper halves of each oyster shell (discarding remaining shells) and scrub clean under cold running water; dry shells and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet; set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots; season with salt and cool until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour. Add Herbsaint and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Add garlic and anchovies and their oil; stir to combine. Season with salt. Add heavy cream and reserved oyster juices; let cook 1 minute. Stir in spinach, watercress, basil, and tarragon. Cook until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If mixture seems too thick, add a little water or heavy cream to thin.
  • Place reserved oyster shells in oven and bake until warm, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, panko, and breadcrumbs until well combined; set aside.
  • Spoon scant tablespoon spinach mixture into each of the shells and top each with a whole oyster. Top with a little more of the spinach mixture and sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to oven and bake until oysters are warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler. Place oysters under broiler to brown. Garnish with scallions and season with lemon juice; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around looking for things while you're cooking.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for the oysters, spinach, and herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Oysters: Oysters are delicate and cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as Parmesan, Gruyère, or Cheddar.
  • Serve Immediately: This casserole is best served immediately after it is baked. The oysters will start to toughen up if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Granny's Oyster Rockefeller Casserole is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different cheeses, herbs, and vegetables to create your own unique version of this classic dish.
