CRISPY FRIED OYSTERS WITH SWEET CORN CILANTRO SALSA



Crispy Fried Oysters with Sweet Corn Cilantro Salsa image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup corn niblets
1/2 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup cooked corn niblets
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/4 red pepper, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup cornmeal
6 oysters, shucked
1/2 cup olive oil
6 oyster shells, cleaned

Steps:

  • For the corn puree: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the corn and chicken stock. Cook until the corn is cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly, and then place the corn in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
  • For the salsa: In a small mixing bowl, combine the corn, lemon juice, vinegar, cilantro, scallion and red peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the oysters: Set three shallow bowls next to one another. Place the flour in the first bowl, then place the buttermilk and egg in the next bowl and place the cornmeal in the last bowl. Use a fork to whisk the egg into the buttermilk. Dredge the oysters, one at a time, in the bowl with the flour, shaking to remove any excess. Then dip the oyster into the bowl with buttermilk. Once covered in the egg wash, place the oysters into the cornmeal.
  • Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the oysters to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn the oysters to the other side and cook another minute or until golden brown. Remove the oysters with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of corn puree in an oyster shell. Place a fried oyster on top of the puree. Top each oyster with 1 teaspoon corn salsa. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ounces fresh horseradish, peeled
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1 medium Jalapeno, seeded and diced (3 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 small shallot, minced (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 to 3 dozen oysters, rinsed, shucked, and chilled
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Horseradish: Coarsely chop horseradish, then transfer to food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add sugar, salt and vinegar and pulse to combine.
  • Jalapeno Mignonette: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to dissolve sugar.
  • Red Wine Mignonette: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to dissolve sugar.
  • Oysters: Just before serving, arrange chilled and freshly shucked oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice. Pour sauces into small serving bowls and place alongside oysters with lemon wedges. (Sauces can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose High-Quality Oysters: The quality of your oysters will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for oysters that are plump and have a briny, fresh smell.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and basil, will add a burst of flavor to your salsas. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't Overcook the Oysters: Oysters are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve Immediately: Oysters are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their most flavorful.
