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.

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.

THE DARBY'S OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER



The Darby's Oysters Rockefeller image

A classic recipe for oysters, said to be "as rich as Rockefeller," gets an update from chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Food Network host and executive chef at The Darby.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 18

48 small to medium oysters, such as Wellfleet or Beau Soleil, scrubbed
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch slices
6 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
Coarse salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Herbsaint
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely chopped oil-packed anchovy fillets, in their oil
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 pound baby spinach, stemmed, washed, and chopped
1 pound fresh watercress, stemmed, washed, and chopped
2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup toasted panko
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 scallions, trimmed, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place a strainer over a medium bowl; gently shuck the oysters over the strainer, using the strainer to catch the meat and strain the liquor into the bowl. Reserve the deeper halves of each oyster shell (discarding remaining shells) and scrub clean under cold running water; dry shells and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet; set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots; season with salt and cool until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour. Add Herbsaint and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Add garlic and anchovies and their oil; stir to combine. Season with salt. Add heavy cream and reserved oyster juices; let cook 1 minute. Stir in spinach, watercress, basil, and tarragon. Cook until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If mixture seems too thick, add a little water or heavy cream to thin.
  • Place reserved oyster shells in oven and bake until warm, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, panko, and breadcrumbs until well combined; set aside.
  • Spoon scant tablespoon spinach mixture into each of the shells and top each with a whole oyster. Top with a little more of the spinach mixture and sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to oven and bake until oysters are warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler. Place oysters under broiler to brown. Garnish with scallions and season with lemon juice; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh oysters: Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor and a plump, firm texture. Look for oysters that are tightly closed and have a shiny, smooth shell.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for celery, onion, and bell pepper, but you can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the oysters: Oysters are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful: The sauce for this casserole is made with butter, flour, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Be sure to cook the sauce until it is thickened and bubbly.
  • Top the casserole with bread crumbs: The bread crumbs add a crispy texture to the casserole. You can use either fresh or dried bread crumbs.

Conclusion:

Oysters Rockefeller Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, tender oysters, and crispy bread crumb topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
