MUSHROOM OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER
From an old BBS food forum. I used the smallest jarred oysters I could find in the fresh seafood section, but the recipe called for fresh, shucked oysters. With the bagged spinach e-coli scare, use a fresh bunch purchased from a local grower if possible, not bagged.

OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Cremini, portobello, and shiitake mushrooms are all good choices for this recipe. They should be firm and fresh, with no signs of bruising or decay.
- Cook the mushrooms properly. Mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid. The cooking liquid should be flavorful enough to infuse the mushrooms with flavor. Chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice are all good options.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Make the sauce ahead of time. The Rockefeller sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to prepare the dish at a moment's notice.
- Serve the dish immediately. Oysters Rockefeller is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the mushrooms are hot and the sauce is melted.
Conclusion:
Oysters Rockefeller is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender mushrooms, Oysters Rockefeller is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
