Categories     appetizer

Time 42m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 strips bacon
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup roughly chopped shallots
1/4 cup roughly chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup roughly chopped celery
2 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves picked
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
2 teaspoons lemon zest and juice
1/4 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 dozen large (approximately 4 inches) West Coast oysters on the half shell
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Lay bacon out on a roasting pan in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes until just crispy - remember they will be going back into the oven with the oysters so you don't want to finish the bacon just yet. While the bacon is cooking, place the butter, garlic, shallots, bell pepper, celery, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, and chili flakes in a food processor; pulse until well combined, but still has texture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove bacon from oven and cut up into pieces. Lay oysters in their half shells out on a large roasting pan in a single layer (you can use rock salt or a sheet of crumpled foil to steady them). Place 1 tablespoon of the casino butter mixture on top of each oyster and place a piece of bacon on each. Bake oysters in the hot oven until bubbly, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Finish with finely chopped, fresh flat-leaf parsley and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices ciabatta (1/2 inch each)
12 medium oysters, such as Malpeque, scrubbed
12 medium clams, such as top neck, scrubbed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (from 1/2 pepper)
1/4 cup dry vermouth, such as Dolin
2 teaspoons packed finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup packed chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (1/3 cup)
Freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 ounces pancetta, finely diced (1/3 cup)
Rock salt or other coarse salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Tear bread slices into pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form (you should have about 2 cups).
  • Preheat broiler with rack 6 to 7 inches below heating element. Arrange shellfish in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil just until shells begin to open, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • When cool enough to handle, remove top shells, taking care not to get any shell in meat, and discard. Tip out any oyster and clam liquor still in shells onto baking sheet. Loosen meat from shells with an oyster knife; transfer (still in shells) to another parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Strain shellfish liquor from first sheet through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup. Fill shells with liquor (you may not need it all).
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and bell pepper; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vermouth; boil until mostly evaporated. Add breadcrumbs and oregano; cook, stirring occasionally, until breadcrumbs turn golden and crisp in places, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley and cheese; season with pepper. Divide breadcrumb mixture evenly among shellfish, then top evenly with pancetta.
  • Broil just until crisp and golden brown on top, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve warm on a platter lined with rock salt.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Oysters: Choose live oysters with tightly closed shells. Avoid any oysters with cracked or broken shells.
  • Prepare the Oysters: Carefully shuck the oysters, making sure to reserve the oyster liquor. Rinse the oysters thoroughly to remove any grit or debris.
  • Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
  • Make the Casino Butter: Combine the softened butter, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, shallot, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Stuff the Oysters: Place an oyster in each shell cavity. Top each oyster with a spoonful of the casino butter.
  • Bake the Oysters: Place the oysters in a baking dish and bake them until the butter is melted and bubbly and the oysters are cooked through.
  • Serve Immediately: Oysters Casino are best served immediately, while they are hot and juicy.
