Oysters Rockefeller
Recipe by:
Barrett
The original recipe of his American shellfish classic was created in New Orleans. This is my version. Freshly cooked oysters are topped with a spinach, bacon, breadcrumbs and Pernod, then placed on a bed of coarse salt and lightly grilled before serving immediately. These are very impressive!

Preparation method
Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 30 mins1.
Preheat oven to 230 C / Gas mark 8.
2.
Place bacon in a large, deep frying pan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, chop and set aside.
3.
Clean oysters and place in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to cover oysters; bring the water and oysters to the boil. Remove from heat and drain; let cool. When cooled, break the top shell off of each oyster.
4.
Using a food processor, chop the bacon, spinach, breadcrumbs, spring onions and parsley. Add the salt, hot sauce, olive oil and Pernod and pulse until finely chopped but not puréed, about 10 seconds.

Arrange the oysters in their half shells on a pan with sea salt. Spoon some of the spinach mixture one each oyster. Bake 10 minutes until cooked through, then change the oven's setting to grill and grill until browned on top. Serve hot.

My husband has had me searching everywhere for a recipe for Oysters Rockefller that tastes like the ones he ate once upon a time. He said this is it! The recipe is very simple, the longest part of preparation is opening the oysters! Wonderful!
