Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 shucked oysters with empty shells set aside
1 cup almond meal (see note)
6 tablespoons flour
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, or half the amount dried
1/2 tablespoon ground pepper, preferably white
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups salsa (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place the shucked oysters on linen or paper towels and pat dry.
  • Combine the almond meal, flour, thyme and pepper in a flat dish. Blend well. Toss the oysters in the mixture until thoroughly coated. Pat them lightly to make the coating adhere.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a skillet large enough to hold the oysters without crowding. Cook the oysters until they are golden brown on one side, about 45 seconds to a minute. Turn each oyster and cook on the opposite side until golden brown.
  • Fill each oyster shell with an equal and ample portion of the salsa. Top each serving with a fried hot oyster. Serve two oysters to each person.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I usually use a store-bought salsa, but I've also made my own and it's just as good.
