1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced shallots

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
24 oysters (in the shell)

ROAST OYSTERS AND TOMATO BUTTER



Roast Oysters and Tomato Butter image

These oysters are a good way to start a festive meal. One reason is that oysters seem to have built-in festivity - even when they were abundant to the point of local glut, they were eaten happily in bars that served only them, festively. The part of this recipe that requires any skill or focus is the shucking. This is a good skill to have anyway, and can't be gotten other than by practicing, meaning an hors d'oeuvre that is both nice for your guests and an exercise in self-edification. Once they've been opened, the oysters need little other attention.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup whole peeled tomatoes, juices drained and saved for soup
Rock salt
12 small to medium oysters, like Island Creeks or Montauk Pearls
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, warmed to room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot or red onion

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to high. In a small roasting dish or toaster pan, roast the tomatoes for 10 to 12 minutes on the highest rack, until they're blackened in places.
  • Spread enough rock salt onto a baking sheet to make a layer into which oysters will firmly sit. While the tomatoes are roasting, shuck the oysters by holding a dish towel in your nondominant hand, and holding the oyster around its rounded tip, with its cup side down, on a counter, then inserting an oyster knife into its hinge, wiggling it in entirely until the hinge gives, and then moving it around. (Even better, watch our video on how to shuck, several times, and then approach the task confidently.) Detach each oyster from its bottom shell. As each is done, secure it in a little well in the rock salt, so that it retains its oyster liquor.
  • Leaving the broiler on high, combine the roasted tomatoes with the butter in a blender or food processor or with an immersion blender or with a lot of elbow grease. The resulting mixture will be mottled and ugly but will melt to glossy perfection. Stir in the shallot.
  • Place a 1/2 teaspoon dollop of tomato butter into each oyster. Place the tray into the oven, and broil until the tomato butter is melted and the oyster is beginning to darken and curl around its edges, around 8 to 12 minutes. Serve very hot, immediately.

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick ) butter, plus additional for toast
6 slices homemade white bread or Pepperidge Farm sandwich white
1/4 cup chopped Serrano or prosciutto ham (about 1 ounce), thinly sliced and minced (Smithfield, or any good country ham, can be substituted)
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 pint shucked oysters (about 18 oysters), drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Dash Tabasco
Juice of one lemon, preferably a Meyer lemon
Finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • For the toast, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Trim the crusts from the bread and discard. Spread the softened butter on both sides of bread slices. Place the bread slices on a cookie sheet and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once so that both sides of the bread are golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, add the ham and sauté for two to three minutes, until it is slightly crisp. Add the shallots and the green pepper, then turn heat to low and cook for another two minutes. Add the oysters and cook until they have plumped up and are beginning to curl on the edges. Quickly swirl in the salt, pepper, Tabasco and lemon juice. Spoon over toast. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest oysters you can find: Look for oysters with tightly closed shells and no cracks or chips. If an oyster is slightly open, tap it gently on the counter. If it closes quickly, it's still alive and safe to eat.
  • Scrub the oysters thoroughly with a stiff brush: This will remove any dirt or debris from the shells.
  • Roast the oysters at a high temperature: This will help them cook quickly and evenly. A good rule of thumb is to roast them at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the oysters: Overcooked oysters will become tough and chewy. Keep an eye on them while they're roasting and remove them from the oven as soon as they're cooked through.
  • Serve the oysters immediately with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include melted butter, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Roasted oysters are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a party or a casual get-together. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a seafood appetizer, give roasted oysters a try. You won't be disappointed.
