OYSTERS

Method

OYSTERS

  1. 1

    Preheat oven

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Shuck oysters

    Shuck the oysters, leaving them on the half-shell, and arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Reserve the liquor for moisture if desired.

  3. 3

    Sauté aromatics

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.

  4. 4

    Make spinach filling

    Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chopped parsley, Pernod, and lemon zest. Stir in melted butter and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Prepare topping

    In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan and a pinch of pepper; set topping aside.

  6. 6

    Assemble oysters

    Divide the sautéed spinach filling among the oysters, then sprinkle with the breadcrumb-Parmesan topping.

  7. 7

    Bake and finish

    Bake on the middle rack until the topping is golden and the oysters begin to plump, about 8–12 minutes. If desired, finish with a brief broil for color.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
