These are Chuck's cooked oysters topped with a delicious spinach and cream mixture, garnished with breadcrumbs and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 dozen oysters
1 cup/250ml 35-percent cream
1 teaspoon/5ml Dijon mustard
1 cup/250ml grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 cups fresh spinach (1 liter), stemmed
1 cup/250ml breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Shuck the oysters, reserving the liquid. Place the oysters and liquid in a saucepan. Reserve the deeper half of each oyster shell. Cook the oysters over medium heat for about 30 seconds, just to give them some firmness. With a slotted spoon, remove the oysters to a bowl and set aside. Add the cream to the oyster liquid in the pan and cook for 10 minutes to reduce. Add the mustard and half the cheese. Set aside.
  • In another saucepan over low heat, cook the spinach with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water until wilted. Strain the excess spinach water into the cream mixture and set the spinach aside. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the breadcrumbs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the broiler. Arrange the oyster half-shells in a casserole dish filled with seaweed or large rock salt. Place each oyster in a shell and add a bit of the cream mixture and some spinach. Top with the breadcrumb mixture. Broil until the cheese melts and the tops are lightly browned, about 1 minute.

OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER



Oysters Rockefeller image

There are as many so-called original recipes for oysters Rockefeller as there are types of oysters. One account has it that the dish first surfaced at Antoine's in New Orleans in 1899. It was said to have been devised by Jules Alciatore, a grandson of the restaurant's founders. According to the story, a shortage of snails from Europe had the restaurant in jitters, and Mr. Alciatore was experimenting in the kitchen, looking for a substitute. At that time, oysters were never cooked at all, let alone fancied up with a sauce. He did so, making a sauce of watercress, scallions, celery, anise, spinach and other seasonings. It was a big hit, and he named it after America's richest man, John D. Rockefeller. Some revisionists contend that spinach was not in the original dish. My version calls for celery, spinach, scallions, parsley, garlic, anchovy fillets and Tabasco. The anchovy is my own liberal interpretation.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 oysters
1 lb. fresh spinach
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
1/2 cup coarsely chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 clove garlic
2 anchovy fillets
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
2 tablespoons Ricard or Pernod
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Open the oysters, leaving them on the half shell, and reserve the oyster liquor. Arrange them in a baking pan; then, chill until ready to use.
  • Pick over the spinach and remove any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse well and place in a saucepan. Cover and cook, stirring, until wilted. Drain well, and squeeze to remove all moisture.
  • In the container of a food processor, combine the drained spinach, celery, scallions, parsley, garlic and anchovies. Blend to a fine texture.
  • In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter. Add spinach mixture. Cook and stir for about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining butter in a saucepan. Add the flour, blend, and stir with a wire whisk. Add the oyster liquor, stirring vigorously with the whisk. Stir in the cream, season with Tabasco, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the spinach mixture, cheese and liqueur. Blend well and let cool. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon equal parts of the spinach mixture on top of the oysters and smooth over the tops. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until piping hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality oysters. Fresh, plump oysters are essential for this casserole. Avoid using oysters that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Shuck the oysters carefully. To avoid getting grit or shell fragments in your casserole, be careful when shucking the oysters. Use a sharp knife and work slowly.
  • Cook the oysters briefly. Overcooked oysters will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
  • Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, will add flavor to the casserole without overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the oysters are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and hot. Overcooking will make the oysters tough and the sauce watery.
  • Serve the casserole immediately. Oyster Rockefeller casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Oyster Rockefeller casserole is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of briny oysters, creamy sauce, and crispy bread crumbs is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give Oyster Rockefeller casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
