Servings: 4

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup soft bread crumbs

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1 small stalk celery, minced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced

2 dozen large (or 3–4 dozen small) oysters, opened and on the half shell

Sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons Pernod

Rock salt

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 medium shallots (about 1/4 cup), minced

2 cups fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

175g unsalted butter, softened

1–2 drops Worcestershire sauce

Equipment:

baking pan

oven

frying pan

blender

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat oven to 450F. Fill 4 pie or cake tins (or a baking dish large enough to hold oysters) with rock salt, but no more than half full (use just enough salt to keep the oysters from rocking back and forth). Place the tins in the oven briefly to warm.
  2. Prepare the topping: Saute the shallots, celery, and parsley in 4 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet for approximately 57 minutes. Add spinach to the skillet and allow it to wilt for a minute.
  3. Pour spinach mixture into a blender. Add the remaining butter, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, peppers, and Pernod or Anisette. Blend for a minute at medium speed. Top each oyster with about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of the mixture, depending on the size of the oyster.
  4. Remove the tins from the oven and embed the oysters firmly in the hot salt. Return pans to the oven and bake for about 4 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the spinach is lightly browned on top. Serve oysters right in the tin.

The Arabs invented caramel.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
